"The study went as far as to say that increasing minimum wages could even increase revenue for fast-food restaurants. Higher wages are associated with increased productivity and lower turnover." #FastFoodCouncil

A graphic of a headline that reads: despite apocalyptic warnings, the California fast food wage hike did not kill jobs. In their third report on the subject and second update of data, university of California researchers reach the same conclusions that have twice bedeviled the anti-wage hike sector of the restaurant industry.

A graphic that reads: "THE CALIFORNIA FAST FOOD COUNCIL SHOULD PRIORITIZE A COST-OF-LIVING ADJUSTMENT IN 2026 TO PREVENT RISING PRICES FROM ERASING WORKERS' GAINS. A FAILURE TO REGULARLY INDEX FOR INFLATION PROVIDES A WINDFALL TO LOW-WAGE EMPLOYERS AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR FRONTLINE EMPLOYEES." JOSH BIVENS, CHIEF ECONOMIST, ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE
Fast food workers from across California organized, went on strike, and won a #FastFoodCouncil.
Recently a new report showed why it’s important to keep up the progressive and ensure over half a million California workers don’t fall further behind inflation.

It's been 2 years since the implementation of California’s $20 fast food minimum wage, and @ucberkeleyirle.bsky.social has released the most comprehensive study yet.

This is why we're demanding annual cost of living raises now from the #FastFoodCouncil!

Today we are ON STRIKE demanding change for her and every fast food worker.
This type of abuse is rampant in our industry, which is why we fought to establish the statewide #FastFoodCouncil.
It’s time for the Council to get back to work so they can investigate these abuses at our restaurants!

NEW from @epi.org's @benzipperer.org and @joshbivens-econ.bsky.social: adjusting minimum wages for inflation is a necessary and modest step to protect affordability for low wage workers, including in California’s fast food industry. #FastFoodCouncil

The bosses and right wing fear mongering were lies.
It’s time for the fast food industry greed to end.
As McDonald’s tries to lure back customers with lower prices, the facts are that it wasn’t workers wages that drastically increased the cost on the menu in the first place.

hi darth. We started organizing under @fightforaunion.bsky.social around a decade ago, and become the first state to a $20 fast food min wage and #FastFoodCouncil. Thanks to organized labor, CA has some of the strongest workplace laws, now we're fighting to ensure every fast food worker knows them

This week we unveiled our new report “FAST FOOD WORKERS ON THE BRINK: Precarious Work and the Path to Stability in California's Fast Food Industry” at the Capitol
@governor.ca.gov made history by creating the #FastFoodCouncil.
The report lays out common sense solutions for the Council.

Workers have been striking and fighting back against sexual harassment at McDonalds for years.
The company said they would change.
They haven't.
Workers continue to be retaliated against for reporting issues.
This is why we're calling on the #FastFoodCouncil to investigate abuses in the industry

Report: Effects of the $20 California Fast-Food Minimum Wage February 24, 2025 This policy brief represents the second in a series of reports on the effects of California’s $20 fast-food minimum wage. The first report, issued on September 30, 2024, used early data to generate preliminary estimates of the policy’s impacts in its first three months. The current report draws from the same data sources, but now through mid-December 2024, and from new data sources that became available only after the first report. I focus here on the highlights of our new results, as we plan to issue a third, more detailed report, later this year. Our updated findings include: an estimated wage increase of 8 to 9 percent for workers covered by the policy; no spillovers to non-covered workers; no negative effects on fast-food employment; and price increases of about 1.5 percent— or about 6 cents on a four-dollar hamburger. The number of fast-food establishments grew faster in California than in the rest of the U.S. I also identify questionable methods in a recent industry report that claims the policy led to substantial negative employment effects and large price increases. That report cherry picks its numbers and does not use modern causal identification methods, casting doubt on its claims.
NEW report released today shows that after workers won a $20 statewide minimum wage, the number of fast food establishments grew faster in California than in the rest of the U.S. irle.berkeley.edu/publications...

Taco Bell strikers with our families
As the fast food industry runs a campaign saying they care about their employees, this is what is really happening across California.
This is why we need Know Your Rights training here in Santa Clara County and we why we’re calling on the #FastFoodCouncil to support it as well.

Worker with a we are mothers, we are workers, we are LA sign
As the fast food industry goes to the #FastFoodCouncil and the press with their claims, in our stores we see them using the same tactics they've used for years.
We won't allow it.

The fast food industry is thriving while paying at least $20/hour to every worker in California.
They can afford to pay us yearly raises.

The meeting LOL

Actually it was Oakland because it was the day before we had our first #FastFoodCouncil meeting. If you want to occasionally see someone be mad at the fast industry and tall about how we're raising standards for workers in the industry, and how I find birds along the way. I'm your guy!
