Step up for them : Hazard pay for Berkeley grocery store workers passes

Grocery store workers in Berkeley will now receive an additional $5 of hazard pay per hour after Berkeley City Council unanimously voted to pass an ordinance regarding the pay Tuesday. The extra pay aims to compensate essential workers for the “clear and present dangers” of working in a public service setting during a pandemic, according to the ordinance. The mandatory hazard pay is set to last for 120 days or until Berkeley enters the yellow tier of COVID-19 risk. “(I thought about) the kinds of risks our essential frontline workers are taking, showing up to work every day, and wanting to move beyond symbolic appreciation of our frontline workers and wanting to step up for them,” said Councilmember Terry Taplin, who introduced the ordinance. “I learned that other cities were also pursuing it, so I wanted Berkeley to join that movement.”
