some news~~ the fast food industry coalition #SaveLocalRestaurants is suing #California officials to stop state from putting labor law #AB257 into effect Jan. 1 during a kind of limbo period, as voter signatures are being verified for a referendum effort underway to block the law #fastfood https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-12-29/fast-food-industry-coalition-sues-to-block-california-labor-law-ab-257

We're working through the holidays, often without higher pay. We get the same wages at or near minimum wage.

We won #AB257 because we're worth more than the minimum, but companies like Taco Bell, and Starbucks have raised nearly $21 million to silence us.

We won't be silenced.

This is a month and a day after a statewide strike where we submitted nearly twice the legally required signatures to form the nation's first Fast Food Council under #AB257.

We don't get a break during the holidays. Neither does our organizing.

It's possible to win good jobs that work for us when we come together and voice our needs. We need more laws like #AB257 that put workers first!

businesses against California's #AB257 , which aims to boost fast food workers power, say they've submitted 1+ million voter signatures to halt the law. so it's not looking good for AB257, but state has to count & validate signatures, which could take weeks.

In 2021, @ElPolloLoco@twitter.com workers earned the company $454 million in total revenue.

Now they're using that revenue to fund a campaign to try to silence workers.

Instead of fighting your workers, join us at the table to set industry standards.
