Kroger closing two stores after city orders higher pandemic pay for workers
Kroger is closing two grocery stores, Ralphs and Food 4 Less, in Long Beach, Calif. after the city voted to require the supermarket company to give employees an extra $4 an hour in hazard pay during the pandemic.
“As a result of the City of Long Beach’s decision to pass an ordinance mandating Extra Pay for grocery workers, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close long-struggling store locations in Long Beach,” the company said in a statement to the Press-Telegram. “This misguided action by the Long Beach City Council oversteps the traditional bargaining process and applies to some, but not all, grocery workers in the city.”
The ordinance that was approved on Jan. 19 stated that any grocery store with 300 employees nationwide and 15 employees in Long Beach would have to give their employees an extra $4 an hour for 120 days due to the coronavirus pandemic
