Pizza Hut Operators in California Lay Off All Delivery Drivers After Gov. Newsom Raises Minimum Wage For Fast-Food Workers
Thank a Democrat.
Two major Pizza Hut operators in California will be laying off all of their delivery drivers thanks to a new law that raises the minimum wage to $20 per hour for fast food employees.
In September California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour.
“Eighty percent of the workforce, these fast food places – 80 percent of people of color, two thirds…are women, the majority are breadwinners and we have the opportunity to reward that contribution, reward that sacrifice and stabilize an industry in turn. What a remarkable moment,” Newsom said in September during the bill signing.
More than 1,200 drivers will lose their jobs thanks to California Democrats.
