Anaheim is the latest city in Orange County to deny a mandate to require hero pay for grocery and pharmacy workers.
The council’s decision on Tuesday to not increase grocery workers’ pay by $3 an hour for 60 days came as no surprise. Last week, four of the council’s seven members said they were not in favor of the wage increase while having an initial discussion of the proposal.
Councilman Jose Moreno brought the item forward with the support of council members Avelino Valencia and Jordan Brandman.
