California fast food workers urge more minimum wage increases
The California Fast Food Workers Union is urging the state to again raise the minimum wage for fast-food employees.
According to a letter sent to the statewide Fast Food Council last month, the union is asking for a $20.70 wage starting in 2025 and a $21.40 wage in 2026. The proposed yearly 3.5% increase is a response to rising inflation, the letter said.
