Latest in series of administrative complaints that include unfair labor practice charges and allegations of workplace safety violations
INGLEWOOD, Calif., April 06, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The City of Los Angeles’ Bureau of Contract Administration is investigating a living wage complaint against Flying Food Group (FFG). The most recent complaint alleges that FFG is failing to provide a "total economic package" of $23.81 to hundreds of its workers. If true, the estimated value of the violations is tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of workers, with damages continuing to accrue. The Living Wage Ordinance (LWO) requires employers to pay a $18.04 minimum, with an additional healthcare portion of the wage set to $5.77 per hour.
"I cannot live on these poverty wages and feed my family," said Norma Reyes, who currently earns $18.04 and sets up equipment for the catering company. "We have filed complaints alleging FFG’s treatment of us violates the law. This company must change how they treat us."
The complaint under the Living Wage Ordinance is the latest among a series of complaints filed by FFG employees. In recent months, workers have additionally alleged violations of the National Labor Relations Act, Cal/OSHA regulations concerning access to emergency exits, the state’s return-to-work (or "recall") law, and state law protections against sexual harassment and gender discrimination.
