Fast-food lobbyists say the higher California minimum wage law led to a loss of nearly 10,000 jobs. The claim is baseless.

    I’m shocked that multi billion dollar corporations would lie, take advantage of their own employees, and act like they’re the victims.

        Corporations are big into lobbying. “Studies” like this help them to convince lawmakers to make decisions that benefit them.

        In this case, they might not be able to easily lower minimum wage, but they can say that it’s been a burden and try to get a break in other ways.
