Burger Flippers Guaranteed to Make At Least $20/Hour in This Blue State
Uncowed, California’s Governor Gavin Newsom authoritatively inked a progressive new law significantly boosting fast food-worker minimum wage to an unanticipated $20 per hour, to be phased in by 2024. Beyond a “reward”, it’s the first powerful stride toward equity in fast-food employment’s playing field, shaking the roots of socio-economic narratives. But hold fire – will Newsom’s audacious strike on wage stagnation also apply to healthcare workers’ wages or will another reform fall by the wayside? Until then, applause for the trailblazers – or should we brace for fallouts? Only time will disclose.
