On May 20, the Cal/OSHA Standards Board convened a public meeting to review proposed revisions to the November 2020 Emergency Temporary Standards on COVID-19 Safety in the workplace. It was anticipated that the rules would be readopted with the revisions and sent to the Office of Administrative Law for an abbreviated five-day public notice and comment period as an emergency action before taking effect.
However, one day before the hearing, Cal/OSHA Deputy Chief Eric Berg sent the board a memo requesting that its members not vote to approve the current proposal and instead allow Cal/OSHA time to present a new proposal at a future meeting.

A federal judge recently heard arguments in farm groups lawsuit challenging Coachella, Calif.’s so-called “hero pay” ordinance requiring agricultural employers to pay workers an additional $4 per hour for at least 120 days.
The lawsuit filed by Western Growers, California Fresh Fruit Association and Growing Coachella Valley was heard May 14. It seeks a preliminary injunction on the grounds that the ordinance is unconstitutionally vague, among other things.
U.S. District Judge John W. Holcomb questioned several aspects of the ordinance, including provisions that could result in lawsuits and penalties if an employer halted or reduced operations to avoid operating losses that may result from paying the city’s mandated pay increase, according to Jason Resnick, Western Growers vice president and general counsel.
