California Grocers Association, Plaintiff and Respondent v. City of Los Angeles, Defendant and Ap — Grimes, J…

Summary

Justice Grimes dissented from the rejection of a preemption challenge to Los Angeles's Grocery Worker Retention Ordinance. She would have held that the ordinance is preempted because it requires a new grocery owner to hire and temporarily retain a workforce the owner did not select, thereby intruding on a zone of labor relations Congress intended to leave to market forces and affecting successorship and bargaining obligations. No separate opinions were provided.
