      But the local spots are going to also have to raise wages in order to compete for a workforce. The only options in 10 years are going to be chains that have hiked prices, or the local spot that cost millions to open and operate. You can already feel that throughout every town in the US. This is a small piece of the puzzle - but owning and operating a small restaurant for a middle class living is becoming obsolete. I think this benefits the fast food places substantially in the long run.

The people making $50 an hour should be just as mad about the $50. If wages had held as a percentage of national income, we'd all be making 25% more across the board.

    Why would anyone have to sign an NDA to discuss public policy? This sounds extremely shady.

    This is a great bill, we should all show support as successful people encouraging younger or less fortunate workers to partake in the economy with dignity, not subsistence!

      I worked at a McDonald's for two years. Later on I got a job where I met my first wealthy person, a co-worker. One day she said that "Fast food work was demeaning". I'd never heard anyone say that labor was demeaning and neither myself nor my former McDonald's coworkers felt demeaned. We did our jobs the best as we could and were proud of it. Only "privileged people" look down on work that they know that they WILL NEVER do themselves. This law will end up being an economic disaster for many.

    The $20/ hour law artificially inflates, so the board members raise prices instead of bearing the burden. The law should have made corporations pay a percentage of the profits for each tear of worker

      What is it to you how much a CEO is paid....Why dont you open your own company, invest your own money, you can be CEO and you can pay all your employees 100 per hour and take nothing for yourself....

      If McDonald's CEO divided his entire yearly salary for each McDonald's employee they would all get an extra $11 a month.

    All these fast food restaurants should really just Sue California and sciu for the violation of discriminatory Acts remember the minimum wage only affects them and if the real smart they'll ask a judge to put a suspension on the minimum wage law until after proceedings

    Let's be clear. If Healthcare was covered, then we wouldn't need workers comp for health related issues in the workplace. Lower costs for employers. Saying that an employee doesn't deserve a living wage is all I hear.
