GP: Months after the state of California passed a law mandating that restaurants pay their employees a minimum wage of $20 an hour, the state’s fast food workers are angling for another increase.
In a proposal that would likely see increased pressure on the Golden State’s struggling restaurants, the California Fast Food Workers Union want an hourly rate increase of $0.70 to come into effect in January. more
California- home of the $25.00 baby burger.
If you can find it somewhere?
Unions seem always to want to decrease their own suffering by increasing everyone else’s suffering. And because the union bosses get paid disgustingly well for their larcenous efforts, the total general amount of suffering actually increases. GFY.
Californicate is rapidly transforming into one large Homeless Encampment.
We have a lot of really slow learners out here in California.
It’s like a driver who survived a high-speed car crash to demand speed limits be increased.
I can see restaurants ending up only as high-end eateries at some point.
Once again, Gov interference raises the price of everything and will edge people out of the market.
$0.70 increase won’t even keep up with inflation! Damn those fast food workers all to Hell. What are they thinking? /s
Make your own food at home and stfu. Brad’s right. Slow learners.
Huh. I guess they never heard of me.
Gee, what’s that old saying my mother used to say?
Oh ya!
Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile
They’ll have to charge for napkins, salt and pepper – and air.
The question remains; will all involved allow the process to play out, union heads collectively bargain with management through negotiation (as it should be), or will rapacious bureaucrats, emboldened by cash contribution infusions from the unions, put their foot on the scale and illegally mandate it in Sacramento?
Newsom pushed through the highly illegal wage fixing for an entire industry. Since when does the government determine how much an employer should pay in a specific industry. Unless that Government is a socialist government. To make matters even more interesting Newsom is part owner in just such a business. He exempted his eatery and one of his largest donors eatery. If you tried that bull shit in the private sector you would be serving time.
Coming soon to a nation near you.
Just eat the damn bugs already.
There’s an old saying: pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered. These hogs will be replaced by robots – if there is even a viable fast food business left that people are willing to spend a small fortune on for a lousy meal.
Go into a fast food place in CA and you won’t see a teenager working there. Almost all are now immigrants with most not being able to speak English. My first job at 15 was KFC. Good luck to a high school kid looking for a job.
