The National Owners Association called California’s recently-passed AB 1228 “draconian” and costly to franchisees in a memo distributed to its members.
“The new ‘AB 1228’ legislation has been voted into law and will result in a devastating financial blow to California McDonald’s franchisees at a projected annual cost of $250,000 per McDonald’s restaurant,” the advocacy group representing some 1,000 McDonald’s franchisees said in the memo obtained by FOX Business.
“These costs simply cannot be absorbed by the current business model.”
CNBC earlier reported on the NOA memo.
Among the bill’s key components:
It would raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour.
It would apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, except for restaurants that make and sell their own bread.
It would also create a 10-person council to govern fast-food chains and set guidelines for working conditions and wages.
When signing the original version of the legislation, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said, “California is committed to ensuring that the men and women who have helped build our world-class economy are able to share in the state’s prosperity. Today’s action gives hardworking fast-food workers a stronger voice and seat at the table to set fair wages and critical health and safety standards across the industry.”
The state Senate passed AB 1228 Thursday.
The NOA said franchisees, suppliers and McDonald’s “must engage to support our California McFamily” and identified steps it said they each should take with ideas ranging from the franchisees establishing 501(c)4 entities and state political action committees (PACs) to create an official arm to lobby the government.

Oh
Subway and Panera
And probably McDonald’s
The people of California are the ones that are not fighting this crap. It is up to them to stop their politicians from passing bills that are so bad that it will impoverish their middle class.
Maybe not. They pay well.
*****
No doubt people who've never run a business and had to make a payroll.
So Paniera "donated" a few million to key legislators? The smell of money changing hands is overpowering. Remember when small local stores were locked down, but Walmart was allowed to stay open (because covid was less dangerous there)? None of this shiat is arbitrary.
Follow...the...money
The three seashells banning toilet paper was mandated by a California green sanitation law signed by Dr Gavin ‘Raymond Cocteau’ Newsom. Don’t shake his left hand if offered.
This whole scam is because the CA legislature, a greedy hive of villainy if there ever was one, wants more payroll taxes.
This is simply another way of raising taxes on the citizenry of CA, via the increased payroll taxes, as well as the increased sales taxes on the resulting increase in cost of meals.
Suckers who vote for rats fall for this ploy every single time.
Unfortunately, In-N-Out (my all time favorite) has the majority of shops in California. If they opened up in more states instead of limiting to 9, they could think about leaving.
My thought exactly! They could bake them, and sell them to the first person that asks for one, and then be “out” for the rest of the day. Kinda like how the shake machine is always broken.
Mini tunes!!
the men and women who have helped build our world-class economy are able to share in the state’s prosperity.
The State creates no prosperity, California is billions
in debt. Idiots like this kill the cow that lays the
golden eggs...while getting the milk for free.
That is to say while milking it for all they are worth.
Sounds like fast food joints are going to make their own bread now.
Jimmy John’s as well. They have killer wheat bread. You can even purchase the leftover bread at the end of the day or next morning.
This is just begging for restaurants to whip up a couple loaves per day in memory of New York's pre-prohibition Raines law where bars would "serve" an inedible sandwich with the beer and then pull the sandwich back to serve to the next customer.
The "three seashells" was an inside joke between the writers of Demolition Man. The wife of one of them had decorated the bathroom including having seashells in it and they never could figure out why.
Start closing stores.
LOL
My wife has sand and starfish from Myrtle Beach, SC, in one bathroom. I’ve been there many times, but she’s never been there.
The government should stay the hell out of businesses. We’re getting more like the Soviet Union every day.
They'll have a hard time getting more payroll taxes from robots, which is where this stuff is headed.
