This is so great for fast food workers in CA. I know of plenty of people who work as managers and crew members and can still barley afford to live a life. $20 might not be enough in CA, but it's better than $12 an hour.

Those starving artists in LA can make money and food now to sustain their careers!

[KFC]

I'm happy for them but unfortunately this isn't always a good thing. Hopefully they don't have their hours cut as a result

Hey $3200 /month pays the rent and food

Amazing news!

Isn’t this “allegedly” and for someone who is of certain age and with years at the job?

 

The Netherlands also advertise a supermarket position with an hourly rate like that for everyone but then it’s only for people who are above 21 or something and have worked there for more than 5 years. Like…

 

If you’re over 25/27 you are still getting 12.50 USD per hour unless you have dedicated your life (5 years at least) in one place. Clownism and fake advertising I fear. 
 

How about they finally pardon all those student loans and put the money towards education not fast food?

This is for all most fast food workers, not just McDonalds. It sounds great but I don't know about this part

It does not apply to restaurants that operate a bakery and sell bread as a stand-alone menu item, such as Panera Bread.

I would not be surprised to see certain chains offering bread as a menu item in the next few months

The rent in California is quite expensive. 

[4Walls]

As they should 

[LCTV]

Hopefully that makes the food quality better. (I know fast food is horrible) but I mean if they are getting paid **** 

they tend to work like ****.

It always make me laugh how people disrespect/make fun of fast-food employees because it's a respectable job and it even pays more than many jobs out there.

I make more than that so I'm good.

Great for workers 

 

California stays winning 

[bad guy]

$20 an hour but then they'll cut hours so that it really doesn't make any difference in workers' pay or cost the company any money

More time to rest/have fun/side hustle for crews then

Minimum wage in California is not $12… its  $15.50 ($16 next year) and many fast food employees already start at $17-$18. 
Paying them $20 is good but it won’t solve the bigger problem. Restaurants will just add more ordering kiosks and cut hours.
