Gov. Gavin Newsom's campaign donor says his Panera Bread restaurants will follow new minimum wage law after backlash - Lemmy.World

“California’s statewide minimum wage is $16 per hour. Newsom signed a law last year that says fast food restaurants that are part of a chain with at least 60 locations nationally must pay their workers at least $20 per hour beginning April 1. But the law does not apply to restaurants that have their own bakeries to make and sell bread as a stand-alone menu item.”

Is there a defendable explanation as to why making your own bread means minimum wage laws cannot be applied to businesses that otherwise meet these requirements?

Yeah…

He’s a neoliberal and gets donations from Panera…

Cali should be full of progressives. But there’s lots of money in being an incumbent in a seat the other party can’t win.

Hell, Pelosi and AIPAC just got another I to the Senate. He’ll keep taking donor money well after Pelosi is buried, and preventing a candidate that agrees with Cali voters from taking that seat for decades.

It can’t change till we get them out of power in the Dem party, but we can’t compete with their do ors money in a primary.

Hell, these days were lucky if we get a primary.

Shit needs to change while it’s still able to change

We need money out of politics.

Money is always been and will always be the problem.
