New California law raises minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour - Infosec.Pub

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a law raising the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour. The raise takes effect April 1.

What counts as fast food? Only places with a drive thru? Does chipotle? Baja fresh? Farmer Boys? Local mom and pop joints? I wonder who makes that decision and how it’s made.

The new minimum wage for fast food workers will apply to restaurants with at least 60 locations nationwide, with an exception for restaurants that make and sell their own bread, like Panera Bread.

That bread exception hits a lot of places. Most decent sandwich, pizza and bagel shops would be exempt.

Seems a strange carve out. I’d like to know where it came from, and what the logic behind it is.
