California fast food workers will be paid at least $20 per hour next year under a new law signed Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
When it takes effect on April 1, fast food workers in the state will have among the highest minimum wages in the country, according to data compiled by the University of California-Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education. The state's minimum wage for all other workers is at $15.50 per hour and is already among the highest in the nation.
Newsom's signature on Thursday reflects the power and influence of labor unions in the nation's most populous state, which have worked to organize fast food workers in an attempt to improve their wages and working conditions.

You lost all credibility when you said it was "less about the costs"
I recently hired a mid -level manager from McDs strategy team and it's at least 90% about cost reduction. They're watching the adoption curve, because older and urban demographics still mostly order at the counter and refuse to use the self ordering lines. That's why they offer free fries and free upgrades at select locations for using self ordering to force the greater adoption.
Also they've started reducing headcount in locations where adoption is higher, but still limit hours to hourly workers.
It's all right there if you want to believe it, but good luck with the spin.
