Fullerton Council to Debate ‘Hazard Pay’ Ordinance
Officials in the city of Fullerton are contemplating a temporary “hero pay” wage increase for grocery and retail workers.
The Fullerton City Council will discuss the topic at its June 1 meeting, at the request of councilmembers Jesus Silva and Ahmad Zahra. But other city officials told The Epoch Times the measure is unnecessary.
“It’s a little late,” Councilmember Fred Jung told The Epoch Times on June 1.
Jung noted the state’s reopening date is scheduled for June 15. “If they were so concerned about the heroes, why don’t you do this when we were in the heart of the pandemic last year?” he asked.
