Silicon Valley state Sen. Dave Cortese’s SB 553 would ban requirement of regular retail workers to confront suspected shoplifters.
His measure, which had a committee hearing just three days after a flash mob of 30 or more men and women pulled a snatch-and-grab robbery of a Nordstrom store AT the Westfield Topanga Mall in the Canoga Park section of Los Angeles, passed the Senate on a 29-8 vote as a worker safety measure.
It promises to make shopping a stark, inauspicious experience. Cortese says his bill aims to protect retail employees from violence by relieving them of any responsibility to confront thieves, even if that’s the job they were hired for. If legislators pass the Cortese bill, they won’t be able to shrug this off by saying they weren’t forewarned. That’s because about 500 small business owners traveled to Sacramento from points like Fresno, Modesto and the North Bay near San Francisco to protest SB 553 and urge legislators to protect small businesses, not their predators.
A former Westfield Mall on that city’s busy Market Street became so vacant of stores because of theft and other business impediments that it was turned back over to the lender, with the lease holder not bothering to wait for foreclosure. The demonstrating business owners also asked why, when California has more worker safety measures in place than any other state, it needs more new rules.
