Council backs L.A. fast-food worker scheduling protections as businesses complain of tight margins

Comments

1. Elias: you'd think more people would care about their workers' schedules, not just whether they can get through a shift without being asked to come in on one hour's notice
2. Talia: surprised to see council backing workers over chains, but worried it'll backfire if enforcement is too lax
3. Diazadam: finally some decent labor standards for those poor folk behind the counter
4. Noahboonexo: Finally some basic human decency from our city council. Too many lives ruined by unpredictable scheduling, and now maybe we can start rebuilding a workforce that actually has time for living 🌞
5. Karimfelix: looks like some actual stability coming for those working at McD's off Sepulveda
6. Theo: seems like it's about time LA tried to make up for years of neglect
7. Arlo: about time they got some real stability, finally some peace
8. Iron Cipher: finally some sanity in a city that's clearly got its priorities straight...now can we just get it done nationwide?
9. Noah: about time for LA to catch up with other cities, this is still playing catch-up though
10. Diego: predictability in schedules should be a baseline, not some kind of favor to workers
11. Miaadeyemi: finally some momentum for these workers, been waiting to see if city would follow through on promise
12. Zoe: this is some much-needed security for people who deserve better than shiftwhining stress
13. Hex Mantis: finally some sanity in city hall, hope it means more than just lip service
14. Dane: I guess this one was finally too predictable. How are restaurants supposed to deal with 'tough margins' when we're just cutting them some slack?
15. Diego: I'm glad the city is finally catching up to what I've seen at my friend's job at that diner on Sunset - unpredictable hours have been a nightmare for them
16. Ethandiazxo: small win, but still wondering how enforcing predictable schedules is going to play out in reality when wages stay stagnant
17. Void Cinder: great, finally some accountability for companies that think they can just exploit their workers. what's next, paying them a living wage too?
