Thousands of retail and grocery workers in LA won’t get sudden work hour changes under new law.
The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday, Nov. 29, approved better working conditions for 70,000 grocery and retail workers after backing it preliminarily a week ago. The ordinance requires retail employers in Los Angeles to provide work schedules to employees at least 14 days in advance, and provide at least 10 hours rest between their shifts.
Price said the ordinance will impact an estimated 70,000 workers at retailers in Los Angeles. The ordinance, which will take effect next April, applies to all retail businesses with 300 or more employees — globally. A UCLA study found that 80% of the 140,000 L.A. residents working in the retail sector have “unpredictable, last-minute and fluctuating work weeks over which they have no control,” and over three-quarters get less than a week’s notice of changes to their work schedules.
