Backers say they have submitted more than enough for a ballot measure to overturn the law. A labor group alleges signatures were obtained fraudulently.
Businesses and restaurant trade groups said Monday that they have submitted enough voter signatures for a ballot measure to overturn a landmark California law that could raise fast food workers’ wages to $22 an hour — signatures that labor advocates allege were obtained fraudulently.
It probably will take weeks for California’s secretary of state to review and validate signatures submitted and determine whether the referendum can move forward.The Dec. 5 deadline is the last day for proponents to turn in signatures to local counties where they were collected. The counties then have eight business days to provide a raw count of signatures to the secretary of state’s office.
If that raw total reaches 100% of required signatures, counties will have 30 business days to do a random sample verification of signatures, said Joe Kocurek, a spokesperson with the secretary of state’s office. Large corporations pay firms to hire signature gatherers paid per signature, and that’s an “incentive to spread lies,” Veronica Carrizales, vice president of policy and external affairs at political advocacy group California Calls, said at the news conference.
