A Sacramento County Superior Court judge put a temporary hold on a landmark California law boosting protections for fast-food workers that was set to go into effect Jan. 1. The temporary restraining order came in response to a lawsuit filed Thursday by a restaurant coalition trying to overturn the law, called AB 257, through a referendum on the November 2024 ballot.
If the referendum qualifies for the ballot, it would block AB 257 until voters have a say. Also known as the FAST Recovery Act, AB 257 would, among other things, create a worker representative body with the power to raise wages. The order prevents the law from being implemented until after a Jan. 13 hearing, in which the court will decide whether to grant a preliminary injunction. |
