Gavin Newsom's restaurant offering job at $ 16 per hour despite new state law of $ 20 per hour for fast food workers
nypost.com/2024/04/04/us-news/gavin-newsoms-restaurant-offering-job-at-16-hr-despite-new-state-law-of-20-hr-for-fast-food-workers/
Gavin Newsom's restaurant offering job at $ 16 per hour despite new state ...
Quick Glance: Debate Over Gavin Newsom's Restaurant Compensation
  • A restaurant involving the California governor has posted a job listing for $16 an hour despite a new state law requiring fast-food establishments to pay $20 an hour.

  • PlumpJack Cafe in Olympic Valley, part of a group of restaurants established by a company founded by Newsom, is seeking a part-time busser to ensure guest satisfaction during dining.

  • Despite the $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers, an employee at McDonald's would earn more than at this high-end restaurant and bar.

  • Critics view the wage discrepancy between workers at an upscale restaurant and a fast-food joint selling inexpensive burgers as hypocritical.

$20 per hour minimum wage starting for California fast food workers Monday
Quick Glance: California: New Minimum Wage Impact on Fast Food Industry
  • Most fast food workers in California will earn at least $20 per hour starting Monday, providing more financial stability to the profession and potentially raising prices in the high-cost state.

  • The law was supported by the fast food franchise owners' trade association. However, many owners have expressed concerns about the law's impact on their businesses amid California's economic slowdown.

  • California has doubled its minimum wage to $16 per hour over the last decade, with data showing increased wages and sustained employment levels.

  • The law represents a negotiated compromise between the fast food industry and labor unions, applying to restaurants with limited table service and part of a national chain with at least 60 establishments.

Quick Glance: Newsom, Lawmakers Unveil Initial $17 Billion California Budget Cuts
  • Democratic lawmakers and Governor Gavin Newsom are working to reduce California's budget deficit, estimated at $37.9 billion in January.

  • The agreement includes delaying $1 billion in grants for transit projects, saving $762.5 million by pausing state job hiring, and pulling back $500 million from a program to help K-12 building projects.

  • Lawmakers agreed to withdraw $12.2 billion from state reserves to cover the shortfall when the final budget is approved.

  • The measures aim to deduct $29.5 billion from the deficit, serving as an initial step to shrink the budget shortfall and address the state's financial challenges.

Elon Musk defies Brazil order to block X accounts
Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
  • A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

  • Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

  • Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

  • Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.
