A restaurant coalition sued to block implementation of AB 257, the California law that would, among other things, create a worker representative body with the power to raise wages.
A group of businesses and restaurant trade groups sued Thursday to stop California from implementing a new labor law boosting protections for fast-food workers.
With the process of verifying the signatures still underway, California’s Department of Industrial Relations said in a letter to the coalition that the law would go into effect Jan. 1. California union alleges that fast-food effort to block new labor law is ‘willfully misleading voters’ “By moving forward with implementing AB 257, the state would create a harmful precedent that would effectively render the state’s referendum process meaningless,” Oneto said in a statement.
The lawsuit argues in response that referendum proponents have the power to suspend an “objectionable law from otherwise taking effect” by completing their end of the process — collecting and filing the minimum number of signatures with county election officials — before the 90-day deadline. AB 257, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Labor Day, creates a mandate for a first-of-its-kind council to set standards for fast-food wages, hours and other workplace conditions.
