California fast food workers to get $20 minimum wage under new deal between labor and the industry
- Most fast food workers in California will receive a $20 minimum wage next year, avoiding a costly referendum. The raise applies to fast food restaurants in California with at least 60 locations nationwide, excluding stand-alone bakeries.
- The agreement was reached between labor unions and the fast food industry, ending a tense standoff. The deal allows for the creation of a Fast Food Council that has the authority to raise wages up to $22 per hour. The current minimum wage in California is $15.50 per hour.
- The bill must still be approved by the state Legislature and signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom. If passed, the Fast Food Council could increase the minimum wage each year based on the consumer price index. This agreement aims to address low pay and unsafe working conditions in California's fast-food industry.
