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.

Cant they each bake a couple of rolls ?
This is a blatant subsidy for robot manufacturers.
No salary.
No social security or Medicare withholding.
No health care benefits.
No worker’s compensation.
No wrongful discharge lawsuits.
No calling out for a legitimate or lame excuse.
No showing up late to work or whining about the schedule.
Make and sell their own bread? Which chain ponied up the political contributions to carve out that exemption? Panera?
No, this is a blatant attempt to wipe out the fast food industry in kalifornia. The impact is on all chain restaurants, not only mickey Ds. Millions more will be unemployed there.
Panera and Subway.
Food deserts coming to California, especially in areas with a high percentage of black customers. McDonald’s for many of them is a place of violence.
This is aimed straight at In And Out.

In the future, after the great franchise wars, all restaurants are subway.

Idiocracy kiosks here we come.
Another example, if any were needed, of the big, central, point of where we are in this age.
Governments at EVERY level, created to SERVE their people, are serving only themselves — their officials, their employees, and their high-dollar supporters.
Lincoln’s famous phrase has been bastardized — city, county, state and national. This is government of the government, by the government, for the government.
New motto: Have it their way!
Yes but its also for closing more food optioms for the general public, as they want less food options for people, especially ones that serve animal/meat items.
I wonder which restaurant that was written for? Big Lib donor?
The last chain fast food restaurants I ate at in California had all minority employees. Many of them will be unemployed now.
Well Taco Bells in San Angeles.....
The McDonalds in my hometown has already done away with most of their cashiers and gone to those electronic ordering screens. I’m guessing in a year, or two robots will be doing everything in McDonalds from making the food to cleaning, with just a couple employees standing around to make sure everything works right.
