Newsom, who visited Downtown L.A. on Thursday to sign the bill, said it was a key step forward in a state where California fast-food workers are paid $3 per hour less than comparable service-sector workers, and who are more likely to live in poverty, according to the bill’s supporters.
Newsom was flanked by supporters of the bills, including Anneisha Williams, a Los Angeles fast-food worker; SEIU International President Mary Kay Henry, SEIU California President David Huerta and Assemblymember and the bill’s sponsor, Assemblymember Chris Holden, D-Pasadena. “For the last decade, California fast food workers along with workers across the country have organized and marched and gone on strike to demand a voice,” said Mary Kay Henry, president of SEIU. “In the last two years alone, they have waged 450 strikes across the state making clear the need for fast food corporations to treat them with dignity. I am so proud of the Black and Latino women who lead across race to win big for every community — white, Black, brown and Asian.
, the bill would have required a fast food restaurant franchisor to share with its fast food restaurant franchisee all civil legal responsibility and civil liability for the franchisee’s violations of prescribed laws and orders, or their implementing rules or regulations, according to an earlier analysis.
