Good Morning MEMA members!

California-specific question:

Have any of you been faced with demands to pay double the minimum wage for mechanics/assistants that provide their own tools? That requirement is in the California labor code but is there some sort of exemption for government, or if tool allowance is provided, or?

I know some of you provide tools, but at San Bernardino County we only provide specialty tools and air tools ¾ and above.

Thanks for sharing your expertise!
