California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour. The raise takes effect April 1.
Genuine question… Why fast food? Why not all minimum wage workers?
I don’t understand why fast food needs its own minimum wage but I’m here for $20/hr in CA.
Lets get all wages raised in general.
It probably will result in it, a rising tide lifts all boats as they say
What counts as fast food? Only places with a drive thru? Does chipotle? Baja fresh? Farmer Boys? Local mom and pop joints? I wonder who makes that decision and how it’s made.
The new minimum wage for fast food workers will apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, with an exception for restaurants that make and sell their own bread, like Panera Bread.
Everyone is about to make their own buns lol

That bread exception hits a lot of places. Most decent sandwich, pizza and bagel shops would be exempt.
Seems a strange carve out. I’d like to know where it came from, and what the logic behind it is.
This guy is fucking ridiculous. He’s overreaching his boundaries on every possible level. I own a small business, we’re barely making ends meet as it is, and now it’s going to be impossible for me to compete with fucking Jack in the box for employees.
If you can’t afford to pay a liveable wage then you can’t afford to stay in business.
I find that people that say this are the kind of people who won’t pay a liveable price for products either though
If a small business is offering a good meal for $30, and a big chain is offering a poor quality substitute for $20, the vast majority opt to line the pockets of billionaires while moaning about the prices of the small businesses
That would be because the people buying the meals also need to be getting paid a liveable wage to be able to afford the better meal. People don’t choose worse food by choice if they can afford the good food.
Are you a fastfood business with over 50 locations?
