California Lawmaker Wants Big Retailers To Pay Workers Double On Thanksgiving
SACRAMENTO (CBS) — A California lawmaker is pushing legislation that she said would protect workers on Thanksgiving.
According to CBS Sacramento, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez says more retailers are choosing profits over people on Thanksgiving. She says the legislature should get involved to help workers making the sacrifice.
The Double Pay On The Holiday Act failed last year, but she says her new proposed bill requires only big retailers—those with more than 500 employees—to pay double time only on Thanksgiving.
