The California Restaurant Association is a powerful corporate lobby that fights against minimum wage increases, paid sick leave, and workplace protections for restaurant workers. The CRA spent millions trying to overturn the FAST Recovery Act, which raised wages and safety standards for fast-food employees. Traci Park took $1,600 from the CRA through their LA Food and Beverage PAC and touted their support on her campaign website. This industry group exploits low-wage workers, many of them immigrants and women of color, while opposing every major effort to make restaurant jobs fair and livable. Traci Park’s votes reflect their influence.
