LA TimesProtests helped push California and municipalities across the state to raise the minimum wage to $15 over the next few years. The new laws are about “job quality — what it means to work in a just workplace,” said California Labor Secretary Julie Su. “This is a work in progress, and it will continue to be.” But the chamber, along with the National Retail Federation and other business groups, filed suit against Assembly Bill 51, the first-in-the-nation law preventing companies from making workers sign arbitration agreements as a condition of employment. So companies can’t just pay lip service to training, letting people go through the motions and check a box.” Child-care workers Home-based child-care workers are not covered by federal labor law. The new law will lead to “creating quality jobs, not poverty jobs,” said Assemblywoman Monique Limón, the bill’s author.
