FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Hazard pay isn t coming in a hurry for grocery store workers in Fresno after the city council postponed its vote on a $3 per hour raise during the pandemic.
The coronavirus has infected a minimum of 20,000 grocery store workers in the U.S., according to union representatives.
Fresno City Council President Luis Chavez says not all of their employers have done enough to reward the employees for risking their own health and their families to keep everyone else fed.
