KNX News Radio: New Bill Protects Workers from Big Chain Closures
LOS ANGELES (KNX) – A new bill introduced to the California senate would protect workers who are left displaced when corporate chains shut down.
The Displaced Worker Transfer Rights Act, authored by Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, would require large corporate chains – such as Starbucks, Chipotle and Trader Joe’s - to give employees 60 days advance notice of a store closure, as well as give employees the right to transfer to another location within 25 miles.
