No Fooling: Gov. Newsom's $20 Minimum Wage Hits April 1​

I wish we could call “April fool!” on the $20 minimum wage hitting California fast-food restaurants on April 1. But the wage hike signed into law last September by Gov. Gavin Newsom is really going to hit hard.

Last December, Pizza Hut announced it would lay off more than 1,200 delivery drivers across the state. It switched to independent deliver services for home delivery. On March 25, the Wall Street Journal reported on driver Michael Ojeda, 29, “who previously supported his mother and partner on his Pizza Hut delivery wages.” He told the paper, “Pizza Hut was my career for nearly a decade and with little to no notice it was taken away.”

Round Table Pizza also laid off 73 drivers. And, “In San Jose, Brian Hom, owner of two Vitality Bowls restaurants, now runs his stores with two employees, versus four workers that he typically used in the past. That means it takes longer to make customers’ açaí bowls and other orders, and Hom said he is also raising prices by around 10 percent to help cover the increased labor costs. ”

It's not about "what was gonna happen."

It's about buying votes from the sheeple - and the do-gooder society matrons who, sadly, ALSO vote.

If half the people affected lose their jobs after the wage goes up, I don't think it'll get 'em as many votes as they thought it would.
....and my comment was that anyone could have known that by raising it that much, that the result would in fact be layoffs. Ie: what they got.
