Salaries for Californian fast food employees might rise to $22 per hour
Despite the opposition of restaurant owners who worried it would raise customers' bills, California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday signed a nation-leading law providing more than 500,000 fast food employees additional authority and rights.
With the authority to set minimum standards for salaries, hours, and working conditions in California, the groundbreaking law establishes a 10-member Fast Food Council, comprised of equal numbers of workers' and employers' representatives, as well as two state officials.
Newsom declared that he was honoured to sign the bill into law on Labor Day. "California is committed to ensuring that the men and women who have helped build our world-class economy are able to share in the state's prosperity," he stated. "Today's action gives hardworking fast food workers a stronger voice and seat at the table to set fair wages and critical health and safety standards across the industry."
In contrast to the statewide minimum pay of $15.50 an hour, the bill restricts minimum wage hikes for fast-food employees at chains with more than 100 locations at $22 an hour next year, with the cost of living increasing beyond that.
