The Golden State stubbornly disregards warning signs surrounding the wage hike policies advocated by progressive unions.
According to National Review, California recently rolled out a groundbreaking $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers. However, labor unions, and their radical activist allies, are now pushing hard to expand this wage rate into other industries.
In examining California’s wage policies, it becomes obvious that the likely outcomes have a predictable path. One notable case study highlights the consequences of a near-$20 minimum-wage model, which unfolded within the state’s purview.
In 2021, Unite Here Local 11, a prominent labor organization situated in Los Angeles, orchestrated a series of actions that resulted in a $17.64 minimum wage for hotel employees within West Hollywood. This wage floor represented the highest across the nation.
Not content with this achievement, the union swiftly expanded its advocacy efforts towards larger targets. These efforts eventually resulted in the adoption of this wage standard across all sectors within the municipality.
