Get ready for the $10.00 hamburger in California.
California lawmakers pass bill to create fast food labor council, give it power over wages.
There was a time when your fast food restaurant was a place where high school and college students worked along side older folks mostly retired. And that's how you worked your way through college and made spending money.
Now it's become a way where the undocumented criminals and social dregs are finding a way to make large amounts of money for menial work. This according to the Sacramento Bee.
California would become the first state to establish a fast food council charged with setting pay and workplace standards for the entire industry under a bill the Legislature is poised to send to Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Under the legislation, a 10-member council composed of workers, employers and government appointees would negotiate to set industry standards and pay. It would apply to any fast food chain with at least 100 locations nationwide. The council would be a first in America’s fast-food industry.
Many of the industries economists say costs will rise at a minimum of 20%. Here's another scary part.
Authorizes a county or city with a population greater than 200,000 to
establish a Local Fast Food Sector Council, as specified, to provide
direction to, and coordinate with, local agencies regarding the fast
food sector work conditions within the applicable local jurisdiction,
and shall periodically hold public hearings and provide the state
Council with written recommendations.
So you could have a state, county, and city board overseeing this. What's crazy is the fact that the state already has this in place.
If you want to see where California is headed Read a copy of Heinlein's Friday The section where they're in California. Powered vehicles are restricted (and they are powered by super batteries known as Shipstones -- which would compare to the Li-ion batteries powering EVs like a MOAB to an M-80. You could probably travel over 1000 miles on a single charge.) All Bathrooms everywhere are unisex. Sacramento rarely gets anything worthwhile done because as soon as someone is elected recall petitions start circulating. Prostitution is subsidized (sort of) but you can't go topless in your own home if some snowflake might see you. Seems being a peeping Tom(asina) is legal.
McDonald's very first restaurant was in California. They'll have to turn it into a museum, because the national chains will pull out.
