The “Fair Work Week” rules would also require such businesses to give workers the ability to turn down hours before and after schedules are posted, without facing retaliation.
Los Angeles City Councilman Curren Price, show in 2014, called the measure an important step following the boost in L.A.'s minimum wage.
Councilman Curren Price, one of the proponents of the measure, framed it as an important step to follow on boosting L.A.’s minimum wage. “Even going to church has been a lot of difficulty,” said Laura Orantes, who has worked for three decades as a clerk at a Rite Aid in South L.A. David Rojas, who works as a grocery clerk in Washington state, said that scheduling protections in Seattle had helped him sleep regularly — an important factor in managing his bipolar disorder. But Rojas said that when he started working at a store outside of Seattle that lacked those rules, he sometimes was short on sleep and “started going through mania again.”
Business groups have been relatively muted so far in reaction to the measure. Stuart Waldman, president of the Valley Industry & Commerce Assn., said his group has concerns about possible penalties for businesses that need to fill spots when employees call in sick, but was waiting to get more details about the proposed measure before taking a position.
