he additional hours to their existing part-time workers. The UCLA study found that over 70,000 retail workers desire more hours and the majority of them want to work forty hours or more each week. Cities and states across the country have responded to a growing call for a more predictable work week. Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, and Oregon have adopted laws that protect working families by ensuring stable and predictable work hours, opportunities for additional work hours, healthier work weeks with adequate rest, and a greater voice in deciding when and how many hours to work. The City of Los Angeles has consistently championed its workers by adopting laws designed to protect workers’ rights and improve their socioeconomic status. For example, the City has adopted the Minimum Wage and the Living Wage Ordinances, the Citywide Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance, the First Source Hiring Ordinance, and various Worker Retention Ordinances. The City, as a provider of social services, has a significant interest in the promotion of improved working conditions and better wages for retail workers. This ordinance seeks to promote the health, safety, and welfare of retail workers in the City by providing them with a more predictable work schedule that ensures stability for themselves and their families and the opportunity to work more hours. Retail workers that are rested, able to plan for childcare, and rely less on the City’s social services benefit the City.
