'It kills jobs' | Fast food chains fight back against worker pay and rights law

Fast food chains fight back against worker pay and rights law

Several of the US’ biggest fast food chains are currently in the midst of attempting to block a California state law setting worker conditions and minimum wages up to $22 an hour for fast-food employees.

Well-known companies such as Chipotle, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, and KFC-owner Yum! Brands each recently donated over $1million to a campaign called ‘Save Local Restaurants’, which opposes the law, and looks to have it overturned.
