Before someone can file an action under PAGA (Private Attorneys General Act), they have to file a letter with the LWDA and set forth what they think the employer did wrong. The LWDA has 60-days to review the letter and decide whether to investigate the issues. If the LWDA does not take action (and they rarely, if ever, do), then a PAGA complaint can be filed 65 days after the letter was first submitted to the LWDA.
Under PAGA reform, that PAGA letter triggers a 60-day review period, where employers can audit their practices and take steps to fix issues. If they do so proactively, and retain evidence of the audit and its results, available PAGA penalties can be discounted as much as 70% (or 85% if they audit before getting a PAGA letter). Given that PAGA penalties accumulate per employee at the rate of at least $100 per pay period with a violation, that means taking quick action can save thousands of dollars.
That’s why I am speaking about what to do upon receipt of a PAGA letter at my firm’s upcoming webinar on Employment Class & Collective Actions: Strategies for Defense and Compliance on September 30, 2025. The webinar starts at 9 am PT, and my session will be at 11 am PT.
Other topics covered at the webinar will be:
Preventing systemic discrimination class actions caused by AI.
Navigating worker misclassification issues.
Preparing for the EEOC’s focus on systemic religious discrimination.

The City of Long Beach recently passed an ordinance that imposes new staffing and operational requirements on grocery and drug stores using self-service checkout (“SCO”) systems. The law, Ordinance No. ORD-25-0010, was approved on August 21, 2025, and goes into effect September 21, 2025.
For this week’s Friday’s Five, here are the five key points business owners should know and why employers need to understand the dynamics at issue here:
1. Who is Covered?
The ordinance applies to two types of retail establishments operating within the City of Long Beach:
Food Retail Establishments:
The ordinance defines Food Retail Establishments as:
“retail store that is either: (1) over fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet in size and sells primarily household foodstuff for offsite including fresh produce, meats, poultry, fish, deli products, dairy products, canned foods, dry foods, beverages, baked foods and/or prepared foods (other household supplies or products are secondary to the primary purpose of food sales); or (2) over eighty-five thousand (85,000) square feet and with ten percent (10%) of their sales floor area dedicated to the sale of non-taxable merchandise including the sale of fresh produce, meats, poultry, fish, deli products, dairy products, canned foods, dry foods, beverages, baked foods and/or prepared foods.”
Drug Retail Establishments:
The ordinance defines Drug Retail Establishments as:
“retail store that sells a variety of prescription and nonprescription medicines and miscellaneous items, including drugs, pharmaceuticals, sundries, fresh produce, meats, poultry, fish, deli products, dairy products, canned foods, dry foods, beverages, prepared foods, and other merchandise.”
2. Checkout Requirements
If SCO stations are available, the store must also have at least one traditional staffed checkout station open at the same time.
SCO shall limit sales (and advertise this) to 15 items or fewer.
Certain items cannot be sold through SCO:
Alcohol and tobacco (anything requiring ID).
Items with theft-deterrent devices (tags, locked cases).
3. Staffing Ratios
The ordinance establishes strict staffing rules:
At least one dedicated employee must supervise SCO stations whenever they are in operation.
If more than one SCO station is open, the store must maintain a 1:3 ratio (one employee for every three SCO stations).
Supervising employees may not be assigned other tasks that interfere with SCO monitoring.
4. Enforcement and Penalties
Private right of action: Customers and employees can sue for violations.
Penalties start at $100 per employee, per day, escalating by $100 each day until cured, up to $1,000 per employee, per day.
Prevailing plaintiffs can also recover attorneys’ fees and costs.
The ordinance prohibits retaliation against employees who exercise their rights under this law.
5. Effective Date
The ordinance was adopted by the Long Beach City Council on August 12, 2025, approved by the Mayor on August 21, 2025, and becomes effective September 21, 2025.
My Take: A Dangerous Path for Regulating Automation
While the ordinance is framed as a measure to reduce retail theft and protect workers, it sets a troubling precedent. By mandating staffing ratios and limiting how self-checkouts may be used, the City of Long Beach is effectively regulating automation out of existence in grocery and drug retail stores.
This is dangerous for three reasons:
Competitive Disadvantage: Other cities and states allow businesses to adopt new technologies to stay competitive. By imposing labor mandates on technology, Long Beach is tying the hands of local businesses while competitors in neighboring jurisdictions can modernize more freely.
Policy Overreach: Instead of targeting criminal activity directly, the ordinance burdens employers with staffing requirements and liability exposure. The risk is that this type of regulation spreads to other municipalities or industries, making it harder for businesses to innovate and control costs.
May Create Additional Legal Obligations for The City: If businesses comply with these regulations but the City fails to provide adequate police presence to protect employees and property, employers may argue the City has created a legal burden for itself. Because the ordinance is explicitly tied to public safety and theft prevention, a lack of sufficient law enforcement could be framed as bad faith regulation or an unreasonable regulatory scheme, raising broader legal challenges.
Employers should pay close attention—not only to compliance with this ordinance but also to the larger policy trend it represents. While this ordinance currently targets grocery and drug stores, it sets a precedent for how local governments may regulate the use of automation more broadly. If this approach spreads, employers in retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and beyond could face similar mandates that drive up costs and restrict their ability to innovate.
Empowering California Workers Against Labor Violations
California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), enacted in 2004, remains a powerful tool for workers in 2025, allowing them to sue employers for Labor Code violations like wage theft and overtime denials. With over $10 billion recovered in settlements, PAGA addresses systemic abuses. The Workers Rights Compliance Alliance (WRCA) highlights how workers can use PAGA to fight unfair treatment, from unpaid wages to unsafe conditions, ensuring justice for employees and their coworkers.

Home Care Companies Flout Laws, Caregivers Pay the Price
Despite hefty penalties—over $9 million in 2023 alone—many California home care companies continue to operate outside labor laws, leaving caregivers uninsured and vulnerable. Paid in cash and labeled as contractors, these workers face significant risks without recourse. The Workers Rights Compliance Alliance is calling for accountability and better protections for those who care for others.
Know Your Rights: A Call to Action for Caregivers and Employers
Caregivers in California deserve fair treatment, but many are left without workers’ comp or insurance due to widespread misclassification. The WRCA is urging caregivers and those hiring them to understand their rights and demand accountability. Whether you’re a caregiver or an employer, it’s time to act to ensure safety and fairness in the home care industry.

Exposed: All American Asphalt Under OSHA Scrutiny for Workplace Safety Concerns
Posted on August 29, 2025 by WorkersRightsComplianceAlliance.com
At WorkersRightsComplianceAlliance.com, we are committed to exposing workplace safety violations and advocating for fair competition in California. All American Asphalt, a leading provider of asphalt paving and construction services since 1968, serves infrastructure projects across Southern California. Its Corona facility, a key production site, is currently under scrutiny by the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) for potential safety violations. This investigation highlights ongoing concerns about worker safety and unfair business practices that harm both employees and compliant competitors.
Current OSHA Investigation
All American Asphalt is facing an open Cal/OSHA inspection in 2025:
Corona, CA (Activity Nr: 1844635.015): Opened August 19, 2025, this complaint-driven safety inspection targets potential hazards like silica dust exposure or equipment safety at 1525 Corona Ave, Corona, CA 92879. The inspection is partial in scope, indicating focused scrutiny on asphalt production operations prompted by specific worker complaints.
This ongoing investigation suggests systemic safety concerns that could endanger employees, particularly in a high-risk environment involving heavy machinery and dust exposure.
History of Safety Violations
Based on available records from OSHA’s Enforcement Data and Violation Tracker (2015–2025), All American Asphalt has no documented prior Cal/OSHA violations at its Corona facility. However, the current 2025 complaint-driven investigation underscores the need for heightened scrutiny, as worker complaints often indicate underlying safety issues. The absence of prior citations does not guarantee compliance, and we are closely monitoring this inspection to ensure workers are protected.
Impact on Workers and Competitors
If safety violations are confirmed, All American Asphalt’s workers could face significant risks, such as respiratory issues from silica dust or injuries from heavy equipment, common in asphalt production. Non-compliance could allow the company to cut costs by avoiding proper dust control measures or safety training, creating an unfair competitive advantage over asphalt producers that adhere to Cal/OSHA standards, incurring higher expenses for safety measures.
Our Commitment
WorkersRightsComplianceAlliance.com is actively monitoring All American Asphalt’s OSHA investigation to uncover any violations that may emerge. We are pursuing public records through Cal/OSHA to gain further insights into this case. Our mission is to hold bad actors accountable and ensure safe workplaces across California.

Napa, CA (Activity Nr: 1842507.015): Opened August 6, 2025, this planned safety inspection targets potential hazards like chemical exposure or equipment safety at 1000 Main St, Napa, CA 94559. The inspection is partial in scope, indicating focused scrutiny on winery operations.
This ongoing investigation suggests systemic safety concerns that could endanger employees, particularly in a high-risk environment involving winemaking chemicals and heavy machinery.
History of Safety Violations
Based on available records from OSHA’s Enforcement Data and Violation Tracker (2015–2025), Constellation Brands, Inc. has no documented prior Cal/OSHA violations at its Napa facility. However, the current 2025 investigation highlights the need for vigilance, as even companies with clean records can face safety challenges in winery operations. The absence of prior citations does not guarantee compliance, and we are closely monitoring this inspection to ensure workers are protected.
Impact on Workers and Competitors
If safety violations are confirmed, Constellation Brands’ workers could face significant risks, such as exposure to toxic chemicals or injuries from winery equipment, common in wine production. Non-compliance could allow the company to cut costs by avoiding proper safety training or protective equipment, creating an unfair competitive advantage over wineries that adhere to Cal/OSHA standards, incurring higher expenses for safety measures.
