Dear Paso Robles School Board, – Thank you for the last straw. My wife and I have been considering where we should settle and start our family having moved to Paso Robles a few years ago we have found it lovely but there has been an undercurrent of proud ignorance and racism that has given us pause at the thought of fully settling here.
Southern California grocery store to pay workers an extra $4 per hour in hazard pay
LONG
BEACH (KYMA, KECY, CBSLA) – The Long Beach City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to move forward with a plan which will require large grocery stores to pay workers an extra $4 per hour in hazard pay because of the risks associated with the coronavirus pandemic.
According to CBSLA, The council approved an ordinance that requires grocers with at least 300 employees nationwide to provide their employees with the extra money for at least the next 120 days, according to the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
“When large corporations don’t step up to provide hazard pay for grocery workers, we will step in and protect these heroes,” Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia tweeted. “Thank you to the Long Beach City Council for adopting the emergency $4 hazard pay for grocery workers. I’m going to sign the law as soon as it hits my desk.”
