Democrat Califoria Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law to raise wages in fast food restaurants to $20 per hour.
The far-left governor also created a new “council” that will govern the industry.
“California is home to more than 500,000 fast-food workers who – for decades – have been fighting for higher wages and better working conditions,” Newsom said in a statement. (Trending: Climate Hoax, Scientist Admits To Lying)

“Today, we take one step closer to fairer wages, safer and healthier working conditions, and better training by giving hardworking fast-food workers a stronger voice and seat at the table.”
The law gives the state authority to set wages, benefits, and working conditions for fast-food shops.
Critics say this is another major step in the Democrats’ total destruction of the state.
Fast-food restaurants are meant to provide jobs for young people and others who are joining the work force.
It’s unclear how many restaurants will shut down and destroy jobs over the ridiculous law. (Trending: The Failures of Joe Biden Are In Full Bloom)

Moreover, the current average hourly fast food wage in California is over $16.
Liberals say $20 per hour isn’t enough for high schoolers joining the employment force.
“In general, $20 an hour is not considered a living wage in California,” CalMatters.org noted.
“For a working couple with one child, that would be $23.81 an hour and for a single adult with no children, it would be $21.24, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s living wage calculator.”
