California Fast-Food Workers Shift Focus From Minimum Wage to Unionizing
On Thursday, California fast-food workers decided to shift the focus of their efforts from the "Fight for $15" campaign to unionizing. Many workers have shifted their focus to unionization now that they believe that a $15 wage is in reach. The Governor of California recently signed new legislation that will incrementally increase the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour. Workers in California believe that unionizing will ensure that these future jobs they hold are "good". Despite this change in focus, the workers in California will continue to rally along with the rest of the country until all workers wages are at least $15 an hour.
