California fast food workers will be paid at least $20 per hour next year under a new law signed Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
When it takes effect on April 1, fast food workers in the state will have among the highest minimum wages in the country, according to data compiled by the University of California-Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education. The state’s minimum wage for all other workers is at $15.50 per hour and is already among the highest in the nation.
Newsom’s signature on Thursday reflects the power and influence of labor unions in the nation’s most populous state, which have worked to organize fast food workers in an attempt to improve their wages and working conditions.
PA over here still having to eat human feces for lunch since minimum wage is still $7.50
In CA we’d have to pay $20 for those feces lol.
Food here is no higher than the rest of the country We produce a ton of food. Housing and gasoline are the real expenses.
You’re right, but I know for a fact I could pick up groceries in Yuma (AZ) for a fraction of the cost in CA, because I do.
If you’re driving over to get groceries from Yuma, then you gotta be living in the middle of the desert.
It’s all desert or chaparral. Doesn’t make it cheaper. It just gets more expensive as you get to the coast. We’re talking about Socal right? I live in semi well populated city, more on the chaparral side.
that doesn’t even buy top shelf fresh organic shit
only preprocessed canned shit shipped from who knows where.
Beat me to it
