A proposal to boost the hourly wages of Tustin’s grocery and retail drug workers failed to garner enough support to pass a city council vote.

Tustin city council on April 20 rejected the “hero pay” ordinance by a 2-3 vote. The ordinance would have increased the hourly wages of grocery and retail drug workers by $4 per hour for a four-month period.
