Update: McDonald’s Confirms that California’s $20 Minimum Wage Will Lead to Increase in Menu Prices (and Possibly More Changes).
Update: McDonald’s Confirms that California’s $20 Minimum Wage Will Lead to Increase in Menu Prices (and Possibly More Changes).

Fast food franchisees confirm that they will be increasing menu prices to offset the staggering increase in labor costs due to California’s new $20 minimum wage for all fast food workers. However, the California legislature, in establishing California’s new fast food worker minimum wage, may have failed to deliver high wages to California fast food workers. If the menu prices increase significantly, the fast food workers may find that their higher wages do not significantly increase their buying power at their own workplace- and perhaps in other areas of their life. In addition, if fast food franchisees choose to go fully automated and not hire employees, there are no higher wages for these workers because there will be no wages at all.

California's Controversial and Unprecedented New Law Creates "Selective" Minimum Wage For Fast Food Workers and Council to Oversee Franchise Owners.
California's Controversial and Unprecedented New Law Creates "Selective" Minimum Wage For Fast Food Workers and Council to Oversee Franchise Owners.

California has enacted a new law that creates a “selective” minimum wage by creating a minimum wage only for fast food workers. In the span of less than seven months, California fast food workers will receive a $4.50 per hour pay increase. In January of 2024, all other California employees working for minimum wage will receive a pay increase of a mere $0.50 per hour. Fast food employees are clearly receiving a windfall, and fast food employers will now be forced to deal with added rules, regulation, and oversight due to the creation of the fast food council.
