Do you want Food Deserts? Because This is How your get Food Deserts.
I don’t understand how a city can dictate an employee pay raise when the pay was already the legal minimum wage or higher.
Hero pay, like the minimum wage, is raw, unadulterated fascism. The government interjects itself between the two parties to a contract.
“Hero pay”?
The commies sure come up with interesting, diversionary lingo.
Ok. Make the council pay it from THEIR personal accounts.
My Dad was in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. Never made Kroger status though.
This is how they roll. create a problem, wait for it to become a big issue then use it to get votes on the promise of creating a new program to help the starving peasants.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Let them eat masks.
Heroes?! this is like the post office with that stoopid “Heroes Work Here” sign.
Just do your friggin’ job already.
elected officials should have to pass an exam that, among many other things, indicates that they understand the most basic functioning of economics. ANYONE with a little bit of a brain would understand how this would turn out, yet they still did it.
It has nothing to do with Chinese Communists. Or does it?
As for 'Hero' pay, it is nothing more than wealth redistribution. Government picks who must to money to whom. It is a form of minimum wage. That is one more issue that is in the news more often this past week. Republicans have never made an effective argument against minimum wage and they never abolished minimum wage; even when they controlled the executive and both houses of the legislature. The point of bringing this up? This is the bottom of a slippery slope that people warned you about years ago. Republicans never did anything about it. They are pussies. I will never vote for a Republican again. Not that it matters. My vote does not count.
“I do not feel bad for long beach.”
I was in the ship yards at long beach. It’s a crap hole. I laugh at this. Bring the pain, bring it by the truckload. CA deserves every last bit of pain that comes their way.
I hate to say it because I see my savings and investments evaporate as we speak but my one daughter is making out like a fat rat, between this how ever much per child and for what ever per person this is totally crazy money for sure.
There’s got to be an equal protection lawsuit in this somewhere. All other works who had “essential jobs” get discriminated against?
Dumb a$$es!!
So what’s the profit margin for a low-end Ralph’s or a Food 4 Less?
.1%? .2%?
A $4 per hour raise would cut that profit margin completely. Perhaps present the store with a loss.
Yup, I’d close ‘em.
Might as well legislate the Earth to stop spinning...
So effectively they are choosing winners and losers.
The City should lower these Heroes taxes not get the employer to pay up
I contacted my friend who lives and sells real estate in Long Beach and the surrounding areas. He thinks the stores were underperforming and Kroger used this reason for closing these stores. They will likely move most of the employees to other stores.
The Ralphs store is in a middle class neighborhood, the Food 4 Less is in a ghetto.
Hero pay?
Isn’t being able to work already a huge bonus these days?
Thirds types of ‘hero pay’ are being approved in a number of places.
