Thousands of jobs have already been eliminated by California’s law to raise the minimum wage to $20 for restaurant workers, which goes into effect April 1.
For eight years, Michael Ojeda delivered food for a Pizza Hut in Ontario, California, using the income he received to support his family.
In December, the 29-year-old received a letter from the pizza franchise informing him that his employment was being terminated in February. The news shook him.
“Pizza Hut was my career for nearly a decade and with little to no notice it was taken away,” Ojeda said, whose story was recently highlighted by the Wall Street Journal.
Ojeda appears to be just one of the thousands of casualties of a new California law that will raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 an hour on April 1 for all restaurant chains that have at least 60 locations nationally.
Making $20 instead of $15 sounds like a win, but economics shows there’s no such thing as a free lunch. California lawmakers just proved it.
let’s not forget this makes it harder to hire HS students looking for starter jobs,.
especially the delivery LOL
I live in SoCal and I never see a HS student working a fast food place.
Check
I do now and there is nothing about you that has any redeeming value. You don't belong here, go back to Stormfront.......
Thanks for making me rethink my knee-jerk reply.
I haven’t ‘worked’ for 28 years, ‘cause I was one of the best in the world at what I did. But the point was/is - I did what I could AND what I wanted to do. No ‘effing bureaucrat got between me and employers.
Nor, when I started my own business, did they screw with me other than collecting taxes and fees. My customers and I decided what my output was worth!
Thus should it be always.
Agreed.
Who the hell are you to decide who ‘belongs here’ and what the heck is Stormfront? Was that supposed to be an insult or something?
If I were you, I’d let this be. But I doubt you’re that smart.
Its filled with people who are adults. Which is weird. Why can’t these adults move up into career jobs?
>>>Why can’t these adults move up into career jobs?<<<
Because of poor choices when they were teenagers, they are now stuck being one...................
That’s exactly where they want ALL OF US to be.
