In California, the new legislative victory for fast food workers could transform the industry and significantly impact the wages earned by hundreds of thousands of low-paid workers. Under the bill, employees could easily make up to $22 an hour starting next year and get an annual cost of living adjustment. However, the bill still needs Governor Newsom’s approval and could lead to price increases.

I don't disagree with wage increases but what I do disagree with is constant handouts such as WIC and SNAP and Child Support. If all three of those combined can't help her and her 4 kids then she should've stuck to one kid.
This is ridiculous!!! Everything will go up in price. Why reward ppl for not trying to improve there life. Quit letting illegals come here and things wouldn’t be so crowded and cost so much. So if they make 22 a hr my 53 and hr should be 80 bucks an hr. Seriously California is becoming to much to handle I’ll be out of here once I get my retirement hrs in
Maybe it will force people to start cooking at home
they gon have one person in there doing everything lol 15 an hour already cut back on employees ..they say its a shortage i dnt fully buy it they dnt wanna pay all the employees so they cut don on them is my opinion
Won’t work
She'll BE unemployed. They have already started closing the lobby permanently here. With door dash and the drive thru being the only options at more and more fast food places in the area. Most claim they do nothing but lose money with indoor dining, especially after covid.
This is not a win for workers long term. Good luck.
You stupid if you work harder
You stupid if you waste time going to college , just go party kids🎉🎉🎉
They need us anyway even the laziest one🤣🤣🤣. Let's get smart and stay lazy like the others 👍 and you will still make more and more than teacher 🤣🤣🤣
no one is going to pay $10 for a big Mac. you will be out of a job completely and replaced by a robot.
New fast food law in California creates incredible increase in prices and lower demand, thereby destroying jobs in said workforce.
I fixed it for you.
And the Big Mac just went up to $14.55, so the fast food workers still can’t eat fast food, and the rest of us won’t.
Great job! Will be replaced with machines. They already have automated menus. Morons
At $22 an hour per employee, it will soon be cheaper to employ robots and AI. Bye-bye job opportunity!
Get ready to spend $25.00 for a meal at McDonalds. You can't make your employer pay you more and the company not have to raise its prices to cover your salary. Do people not get this?
How about banning fast food all together? It would serve the public better than banning gas cars and AR-15s
Stop enabling lack of motivation for the future….
America’s too damaged for repair. SECESSION will restore America’s Republic with Republican States….
So hey ready for $15-25 for big Mac and so on
A W E S O M E !!!!
Future Headline – "Why there are no Fast Food Restaurants in California".
Hahaha 😂 this is stupid … inflate the price or an already crappy burger
What is wrong with this state. Its crazy that a burger microwaver is going to make more than our EMTS
If this happens, most of those people complaining that they don’t make enough money will end up losing their job anyway. Why? Supply and demand. If working fast food suddenly becomes in demand because of the pay, there will be more qualified candidates to take their spot. Fast food will require even faster workers with less employees to offset the increased prices. The workload will increase because of lay offs, and you can’t say anything because California is an At-Will state. I’ll work fast food again, I was extremely quick at my job when I used to do it for $8. At $22 I’d be Speedy Gonzales.
originally of the word bargain meant 'done in the course of business' which does not denote any immediate mistreatment or abuse in that relationship, but now the same word (bargain) has come to mean 'negotiate the terms and conditions of a transaction' and then if you look into it.. real meaning is hidden there by the word negotiate which means 'obtain or bring about by discussion'.
So what has unfortunately occurred is that we went from a time where the work and the benefit coming back to the workers was being considered as what that business was for, being allowed for by the course of business
to another era in worker employer relationships where now after all that has changed and grown of industriesit is actually considered normal and standard not only for the worker's 'terms and conditions' of their contract be subject to that specific worker being required to initiate spoken discussion of their obtaining (basically ask/beg/demand) before they could ever have a chance of receiving a living wage from their company (every worker is seen as required to do this on their own and only for their one self), but also the ridiculous idea that if the employer wants to they can just deny or put off the request/requester because they don't have to do what is 'done in the course of business' for their workers if they don't want to anymore, seeing as how it's been made into a discussion of one party holds fast to unfairly beneficial terms and conditions then they will prevail in operating a subpar facet of the grander economy. So yeah, these things do have an impact even just one franchise looking at the situation of it's workers and the larger economic impact of pay stagnation over the decades that this mentality of employer relationships failing workers could have been in part, their fault and the fault of many in a position like theirs with a business, and more they hold a power to make more of what we all need coming a little slower and it might be better.So reflect on the original concept and transition of 'bargain' from past centuries, and hope that you can see how what has happened is unfair for workers and then which party of the business felt motivated to cause this word to change it's meaning how it did, and hopefully in this future we'll have a world where business is treated more as 'done in the course of' towards a greater standard of internally distributed benefit/pay BY THE EMPLOYERS regardless of who or what PERSON becomes their worker and regardless of if that person asks for it or not. Employers are being children here and not treating their own business goal for what it truly is in adult world- which is to lift up the lives and increase the power of those people involved in making the work occur that to their customers is worth paying for their lifting up, on high and being exalted.
No matter what: seeking the exaltation of a business or other relation is what's going to set these people right in their mind where they must know that lifting the people up who worked for the company's benefit is the goal of a business, not forcing them to ask/beg/demand or try to find any excuse to make things worse for them, because that is one of the truest superpowers of business is how it by default is capable of supplying that living wage that can lift up and exalt each involved worker's actual personal life a great deal where otherwise life cannot so easily be exalted or lifted up, with spending power.
