Following a change in control (a sale, transfer or other disposition) of a supermarket or other grocery establishment, the successor grocery employer will be required to maintain a preferential hiring list of eligible grocery workers composed of former employees of the selling entity. The successor employer shall hire from the preferential hiring list for the first 90 days after the grocery establishment is fully operational and open to the public. The successor employer shall retain eligible workers for at least 90 days after opening unless it determines it needs fewer workers in which case it shall retain eligible workers based upon their seniority and shall not discharge them without cause. After 90 days, the successor employer shall provide written performance evaluations of eligible employees and if the performance was satisfactory during the prior 90 days, the employer shall “consider offering the eligible grocery worker continued employment.” This law shall not apply to grocery establishments located in an area designated as a “food desert” or in establishments where a collective bargaining agreement supersedes its requirements.
