  • California Law $20 an Hour on April 1

    From Paul Popinjay@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 29 05:12:00 2023
    Fast food workers will be paid $20 an hour starting on April 1 in California.

    By the way, last night I filled up at the Indian Casino, always a dollar cheaper. Regular was $4.99 per gallon, Super was $5.25. I know it's a bargain, relatively, but somehow I didn't feel like I was getting a bargain.

    I bet they punish the hell out of these workers by turning the screws on metrics to make them short staffed, frantically working at all time, and having shifts broken up into small bits in order to save on staff. Everyone will have bizarre splits and
    only concentrating on rush times.

    And: https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2023/09/unemployment-benefits-california/

    Even China and Vietnam don't do that.
    Like I said many times, Communifornia is the last communist country on earth - And you see Emperor Man Diaper taking sides in labor unrest in
    (haha) private industry.

    Idea: what if the food retailers MANAGEMENT went on strike?
    The Taco Bells, Pizza Huts, and the independents, all closed.
    Demanding better pay from the crew. How come they never do that?

    That's what most companies do anyway

    I bet they punish the hell out of these workers by turning the screws on metrics
    to make them short staffed, frantically working at all time, and having shifts broken
    up into small bits in order to save on staff. Everyone will have bizarre splits and
    only concentrating on rush times.

    When you raise the price of a good, consumers purchase
    less of that good. Or recycle and re-use the existing product,
    instead of buying new. Econ 101 duh

    In this case, the 'good' is labor, and the consumers are the employers
    and customers, who pay more, or go without.

    Like after Drumpf's steel tariffs, cars are less affordable, and
    buyers buy used, rather than new. Which is a reduction in
    living standard, by definition. Newsom, Drumpf, same same,
    slimeballing to buy union votes.

    What you forgot about is substitution....and really what we are talking about is disinflation where you made a product too expensive for people to buy.

    Trump's steel tariffs barely affect a car price sine steel is only about 7% of the car's cost.
