https://www.yahoo.com/news/california-lawmakers-approve-land… California lawmakers on Monday approved a nation-leading measure that would give more than a half-million fast food workers more power and protections, over the objections of restaurant owners who warn it would drive up consumers’ costs.
The bill will create a new 10-member Fast Food Council with equal numbers of workers’ delegates and employers’ representatives, along with two state officials, empowered to set minimum standards for wages, hours and working conditions in California.
A late amendment would cap any minimum wage increase for fast food workers at chains with more than 100 restaurants at $22 an hour next year, compared to the statewide minimum of $15.50 an hour, with cost of living increases thereafter.
You may own it, but, gov tells you what you can do with your business.
That has been the case for a long time. There are laws prohibiting production and sale of illegal products. There are laws against cheating on taxes. There are laws against using slave labor. Take a customer’s money, but refuse to deliver the product you contracted to deliver, and see what happens.

While the Swiss are metric and don't have a quarter pounder, their equivalent "Big Tasty Double is
10.40CHF or about $10.60
There is no nationwide minimum wage in Switzerland. In 2014, Swiss voters rejected a measure to
introduce what would have been the highest minimum wage in the world – CHF 22 per hour or CHF 4,000
a month.
So, unless we are willing to admit that Switzerland is greater than America, if we are going to make
America great again, we should pay American workers the same as other industrialized countries.
Some examples of minimum wages in USD:
San Marino 10.93
Canada 10.96
Netherlands 11.77
Monaco 11.88
Belgium 12.15
Germany 12.36
Ireland 12.42
France 12.50
United Kingdom 13.01
New Zealand 15.04
Luxembourg 15.43
So sure, not only should the burger flippers make a decent living, but so should the guys/gals who are placing the orders.
