The Foster's Freeze team in Lemoore, California, felt "shock" as they learned of the restaurant's last-minute closure, Monday, following the state's $20 minimum wage law.
The law says it only applies to businesses that have over 60 locations nationwide. Back in real life and not “woah conservative bro I’m so traumatized” world, Fosters Freeze has 62 locations. So to avoid this law, they’d have to close 3 of them. Also not sure whether it applies to franchisees, and I’m sure you have absolutely no idea either.
No, I think they should figure out how to be profitable enough to pay their employees enough to live on in California. Not sure why that’s a difficult concept.
The law does apply to him. She’s incorrect.
A better title would be California governor causes mass layoffs.
The owner has no obligation to provide jobs. If the risk isn’t worth the reward, he’ll shut down. That’s how it works.
I believe the article over you.
Read the law. She’s wrong.

Yes it applies to franchises. So you think foster should close two and move grow again ?

They already pay them enough. 20 isn’t some Magic number. It’s a number the government made up with no logic.
Since inflation has lowered sales. It means fewer jobs for people who will have a hard time getting a job. Way to go California.
The employees said they were happy with their pay. They’d rather have 16 an hour than no job.

Exactly. It’s why the arbitrary 20 is stupid
