The council would establish minimum standards on wages and make recommendations on working hours to ensure the health, safety and welfare of workers are developed with proper oversight. It also would have the power to raise the fast food minimum wage to as much as $22 an hour.
If approved by the Legislature, the council will meet for the first time by March 15, earlier than it would have if it had to await voter approval in November 2024. Assemblyman Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, who authored the bill, said it will establish “a new standard that inspires a safe and prosperous environment within the fast food industry.”
With a legislative session set to conclude later this week, fast-food workers and supporters across California are urging lawmakers to quickly advance the amended bill through the Assembly and Senate and send it to Gov. Newsom’s desk., said the agreement is “in the best interest of workers, local franchise restaurant owners and brands.”
