    A bill that would, among other things, require minimum wages for fast
    food workers to be set at $22 instead of $15 was bound to be divisive.
    While California Democratic State Senator Maria Elena Durazo called
    the FAST Act "innovative" and a "very, very well-balanced method of
    addressing both the employers, the franchisees, and the workers, per
    PBS News Hour, business owners and restaurant operators don't see it
    that way. Matthew Haller of the International Franchise Association
    tells Fortune that the proposed legislation "arbitrarily applies to
    these small business owners who just happen to operate in a licensing
    agreement with a brand like McDonald's or Burger King, or
    Chick-fil-A," and that "it's discriminatory on the basis of the
    business model that these franchise owners have chosen to operate in."
