Months After $20 Minimum Wage Law, California Fast Food Workers Want Another Increase
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.
“As California’s fast-food industry grows, cooks and cashiers are doubling down on their fight across the state to win safe and healthy stores, stable hours, pay that keeps up with inflation and training to understand their rights on the job,” the union said in a memo released on Thursday, according to the California Globe.

My first job...in California....in 1990....$3.75/ hr.
It wasn't my first job, but in 1979 I got a job paying $4.06 an hour. I was a temp hire. I thought I had it made.
Yeah no kiddin. Lotta $ for 1979
This is what happens when you let the poors get all uppity 🙄
When people are spending all of their money on basic survival (because of inflation)----- luxuries, like having someone make you a sandwich ---- becomes very low in demand.
I got $16 an hour offered 20 yrs ago and almost hurt myself jumping at the offer. I had 3 kids a house payment and thought I hit the lottery
My first job as a dishwasher at Dennys I got $2.35 an hour.
Serving fries was never meant to be a career to raise a family. It was for kids to make pocket money.
You can't raise a family on that out there. That's barely enough for one person to survive.
Exactly. Bad choices bad outcomes. Got a pocket money job? Don’t have a kid.
So simple.
And if you live in an apartment, don’t get a boat or a dog...
What’s the saying about a boat— If it flies, floats or f_ _ k_…rent it. I’ll go wash my own mouth out with soap😂

I'm willing to bet they never get another raise. Unless of course the commie government forces another one.
Gruesome might do it
I never did.
In my humble opinion, California seems to be a breakaway state! How can $20 dollars an hour not be enough to survive in that state!
Break away? A few tactical nukes in the San Andreas…give it a nudge…
