The California Grocers Association on Wednesday sued San Leandro, a day after the City Council voted in favor of an immediate and mandatory $5-an-hour pay increase for employees at large grocers that have remained open during the pandemic.
San Leandro is the second city in the Bay Area to be sued by the trade association. The group, which represents most grocery stores in California, sued Oakland on Feb. 3 after a similar measure was passed in the city. The trade group has lawsuits pending against the cities of West Hollywood, Montebello and Long Beach after similar laws mandating supplemental pay for grocery workers were passed.
