A restaurant partially owned by California Governor Gavin Newsom is recruiting for a $16-per-hour role, despite a new state law guaranteeing a minimum wage of $20 per hour for fast-food workers. The restaurant appears not to meet the threshold for the new minimum wage, a law that Newsom himself signed to much fanfare in September.
On April 1, the new law guaranteeing a minimum wage of $20 per hour for fast-food workers employed in large chains took effect across California, up from the previous minimum of $16.
The law was passed by Democrats in the state legislature last year but has come under fire from some Republicans who claim it will cost jobs. A wage of $20 per hour for a full-time worker results in an annual salary of $41,600.
The new law applies to those restaurants that are part of a chain of 60 or more venues nationwide and which offer limited or no table service.
PlumpJack Café in Olympic Valley, California, is seeking a part-time busser to "assist the food server in the restaurant to ensure guest satisfaction during all aspects of the dining experience."
The advert, placed on job posting website ZipRecruiter, says that the employee will be paid $16 per hour and their duties will include clearing dishes from tables, the preparation of caffeinated drinks and decorating tables prior to customer arrival.
The café is owned by the PlumpJack Group, a company founded by Newsom which specializes in wine and high-end dining. Its website says that PlumpJack Group operates four bars or restaurants, placing it well below the threshold for the $20 per hour minimum wage to take effect.
Newsom placed his ownership interests in the PlumpJack Group into a blind trust in 2018, and has had no day-to-day involvement in the running of the company

Except for writing laws that exempt his restaurants form the $20/hr min wage.
Gruesome’s $20 an hour wage was just to get American butts out of the fast-food joints and into sit down restaurants like his.
Hmmm . . . Commie Rat hypocrite . . . never seen that before. /sarc
bttt
he’s one greasy sum-beech.
Gavin Newsom is just going to force McDonald’s and others to automate their restaurants so they’ll need less workers.
I bet Newsome just goes the Pelosi way and hires illegals.
“...into a blind trust in 2018, and has had no day-to-day involvement in the running of the company”
I highly doubt Trump came up with valuations for his properties on a daily basis, yet here we are.

You think Nancy Pelosi hired the illegal alien who attacked her husband to kill him?
Just an educated guess: He’ll put it on the books as $20 an hour and pocket the $4.
The retail price of a BellaBot is $15,000, on sale for $10,000.
A human waiter at $20 an hour gets $40,000/year and also gets tips. (The restaurant told us that petting the catbot is the tip.)
It is hard to say who hired that nut so who attacked Paul. My guess is.... Paul hired him...,
PlumpJack Café is not fast food. It would be exempt.
But yeah, you’d think Newsom would lead by example but wait...he’s a Democrat elitist.
It’s not fast food, but why would formal dining workers deserve less?
I think the assumption is that regular restaurant workers will be getting tips or at least a portion of the tips.
