Last September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed California Assembly Bill 1287 into law, which includes a $20 per hour minimum wage for fast-food workers and a fast-food regulatory council which has the authority to raise the industry’s minimum wage annually. But between last fall and January, California fast-food restaurants cut about 9,500 jobs, representing a 1.3 percent change from September 2023.

    owners. ……how do you think corporate makes its money if not for the franchises

    How to say you don’t understand a franchise without actually saying it. Corporate has zero to do with this.

    A living wage = wage high enough to maintain a normal standard of living.

    They had that. So now you can stop babbling about a living wage.

    f you can’t even pay rent on a minimum wage job (let alone food or other expenses) then you’re not making a living wage

    They were paying all their expenses. Can you cite where a laid off employee says otherwise? Only a liberal would think 0 is better than making a livable wage which they were doing

      You’re seriously going to die on the “corporate has nothing to do with the costs they impose on the franchisee” hill?

      Under $20/hour, ESPECIALLY in a state with as high of a COL as California is NOT a living wage. Try it for a month. You wouldn’t even be able to cover the average rent. You’re just proving even harder how out of touch you are as a 5%-er.
