<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />LFIA believes our members can protect and support essential grocery workers without increasing <br />costs during a pandemic-induced economic recession. We also believe more time is needed to assess <br />the negative consequences of extra pay-increase motions before causing unintended consequences <br />for our grocer members, their employees, and the community that relies on them to feed their <br />families. <br /> <br />We urge you to hold listening sessions with the business community and other stakeholders to allow <br />an opportunity to discuss the impacts of the Hero Pay and possible solutions we can support as <br />partners in addressing the impacts of the pandemic. For the reasons state above, LFIA is urging an <br />analysis of the costs, assess unintended consequences and impacts on families and communities, and <br />obtain input from grocers and businesses before voting on the language. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />LFIA Board <br /> <br />CC: Mayor Pro Tem David Penaloza <br /> Councilmember Thai Viet Phan <br /> Councilmember Jessie Lopez <br /> Councilmember Phil Bacerra <br /> Councilmember Johnathan Ryan Hernandez <br /> Councilwoman Nelida Mendoza <br /> <br />Latino Food Industry Association 1 MacArthur Place, Santa Ana, CA 92707 <br />
