John Myers reports in today’s Los Angeles Times (“California lawmakers didn’t act. Now the private ambulance industry is asking voters to change workplace rules”) about an initiative on the November ballot. “Proposition 11 asks voters to give private ambulance companies the power to keep their workers on duty during meal and rest breaks. If a 911 call comes in, those workers could be required to put away their lunch and respond to the emergency.”
The initiative apparently would overturn — at least as to ambulance workers — the Supreme Court’s 2016 decision in Augustus v. ABM Security Services, Inc. (See here.)
