The California Grocers Association, already suing Long Beach over its “hero pay” ordinance mandating extra pay for grocery workers, on Wednesday, Feb 3, filed similar federal lawsuits against Montebello and Oakland, which have passed their own versions of the law.

The lawsuits follow supermarket giant Kroger’s announcement it will close a Food for Less and a Ralphs on April 17, both in Long Beach, rather than pay the increases at the underperforming sites. Kroger owns no stores in Montebello.
