LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – A food workers union is defending Long Beach’s right to mandate a $4 per hour raise for grocery workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to a lawsuit filed by the California Grocers Association, the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 324 argued in a Feb. 17 motion to dismiss that Long Beach’s new ordinance is not preempted by the National Labor Relations Act.
Local 324 had previously been granted permission to intervene in the case in Los Angeles federal court.
“The California Grocers Association asks the Court to strike down the Ordinance for reasons that the Supreme Court and Ninth Circuit have rejected for decades,” Paul More of McCracken Stemerman wrote for the union.
