PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – The Coachella City Council unanimously approved hero pay for certain essential workers Wednesday night and extended the controversial hazard benefits to farmworkers.
The emergency ordinance requires certain agricultural operations – as well as grocery stores, retail pharmacy stores and restaurants – to provide an additional $4 per hour to their employees in Coachella for at least 120 days. The regulation applies to those who employ 300 or more workers nationally and more than five employees in the city.
Coachella is the first city in the nation to require premium pay for farmworkers, according to city leaders.
