There are still a few more steps until this becomes law. Next, the City Attorney will draft the ordinance and city departments will develop the Know Your Rights training framework, before returning to Council for a final vote.

Thank you to the fast food workers who came to City Hall, shared their experiences, and advocated for these long-overdue protections. If we want an economy that works for working people, we have to make sure workers are treated fairly on the job.

With 150% annual turnover, companies are constantly cycling through new, low-wage workers who may not know what they’re legally entitled to. The less workers know, the easier it is for employers to violate those rights without consequences. That’s the cycle we need to break

Labor laws only work when workers know their rights. Right now, 88% of fast food workers don’t. Our motion directs City departments to report back on a framework for Know-Your-Rights trainings for fast food workers.

In a 10-2 vote, Council approved our Fast Food Fair Work Week motion. This means expanding LA’s existing protections for retail workers to also include fast food workers: ✅ 2 weeks advance notice of schedules ✅ Extra pay for last-minute changes ✅ Guaranteed between shifts

91% rate of labor violations. 150% annual turnover. 16% avg income lost to wage theft Fast food is one of the most toxic industries in our economy, with corporate giants making record profits off the backs of working people Today marked a big step toward changing that in LA 🧵
