The law does apply to him. She’s incorrect.
A better title would be California governor causes mass layoffs.

The law says it only applies to businesses that have over 60 locations nationwide. Back in real life and not “woah conservative bro I’m so traumatized” world, Fosters Freeze has 62 locations.
