Podcasts about fast food workers

Hello and welcome to another iteration of the Monday Breakfast show on 3CR Community Radio for the 30th of September 2024.   First up we will hear part of an interview from last Wednesday's Bunjil's Fire show in which President of the Black Peoples Union Keiran Stewart-Assheton speaks with Uncle Faron Peckham about the Northern Territory government's intention to build an art gallery on culturally significant land in Mparntwe (Alice Springs). The interview begins with some context into how the site was chosen for the proposed art gallery as well as the evolution of opposition to it by the custodians of Mparntwe. Listen to the full interview here and sign the petition to stop the NT government from destroying Arrernte sacred sites here. Catch Bunjil's Fire live on Wednesdays from 11AM to 1pm.Following that interview, Rob and Eric have a conversation detailing Eric's experiences with art galleries exploiting First Nations people and cultures for the sake of profit. We then hear excerpts from Nasser Mashni's extended conversation with local Palestinian organiser Nour Salman from the Palestine Remembered show on Saturday the 21st of September. The interview discusses the movement in Naarm, local electoral politics, and the importance of telling the truth as the anniversary of October 7 approaches. Get down to the Rally this weekend (6 Oct) and 'bring two friends' says Nour, for the 52nd week straight and every Sunday until Palestine is free. It'll be held at the State Library from 12pm. Listen to Nour and Nasser's full conversation here or catch Palestine Remembered, the only dedicated show on Palestine in so-called Australia, live on Saturdays from 9:30AM to 10AM. Last week the ACCC launched a court case against supermarket giants Coles and Woolworths over allegedly misleading discount claims from both companies. To unpack that claim, Eric spoke with secretary of the Retail and Fast Food Workers' Union, Josh Cullinan. On Tuesday the 1st of October a picket will once again take place outside AW Bell, a manufacturer which makes parts for F35 striker jets here in Naarm and supplies them for countries using the planes all over the globe. F35s are currently being used to drop bombs in Palestine, Yemen, and Lebanon -- to name just a few places. Rob spoke with an anonymous attendee ahead of the picket to unpack AW Bell's response to previous pickets, its inclusion of Lockheed Martin's mentorship program, and the local community's response to learning AW Bell is complicit in genocides. The picket takes place at 145 Abbotts Road in Dandenong from 5AM.  Stay tuned for next week's show which will be wholly dedicated to talking about Palestinian resistance and contextualising October 7th within a larger history of Israel's genocidal conquest of Palestine.Songs played: Going up the Mountain (Ya Taali​'​een ‘ala el​-​Jabal) - Reem Kelani No Warning - Inkabee ft.

The battle over raising the minimum wage for tipped workers and permitting tip pooling bounces to the Massachusetts ballot this November. Saru Jayaraman, President of One Fair Wage and Director of the Food Labor Research Center at UC Berkeley, argues that the current tipped wage structure perpetuates low pay and high turnover. Although the wage increase would occur over five years, opponents assert the mandate would be detrimental to some small and independent restaurants and could fail to increase employee job satisfaction and retention.  This episode is part of the Tipping and Wage Series where we explore the various angles of this debate with restaurant owners, advocates, academics, and consumers to gain a deeper understanding of the bottom line. Boston University School of Hospitality Administration is committed to presenting topics shaping the hospitality industry's future with thoughtful and constructive discussion that respects different perspectives.

Hour 3 of the Thursday Bob Rose Show for 7-11-24

Reporter: Farida Jhabvala Romero, KQED News San Francisco State University's top administrator is promising to provide more transparency about financial ties to Israel … and to explore school divestment.

Fast food workers in California are seeing an increase in their paychecks. This is because of a recent minimum wage law that went into effect earlier this month. The law requires fast food chains like McDonald's and Starbucks to pay workers $20 per hour. It will also affect restaurants that have at least 60 other locations nationwide. Opponents of the law say it will lead to layoffs and store closures . . . but for fast food workers who have been fighting for better pay, this could mean being able to get a decent living wage. Fast Company Staff Writer Pavithra Mohan joined us to unpack it all. For more on this, check out Pavithra's reporting. Then we chatted with Lyft CEO David Risher about taking over the company after cofounders Logan Green and John Zimmer left a year ago, having to lay off more than a quarter of the company's workforce last April, and focusing on his key strategy: “customer obsession drives profitable growth.” We also discussed the company's future in Minneapolis, whether self-driving cars will transform the industry, and what Risher learned heading up U.S. retail at Amazon under Jeff Bezos.

This week, California implements a minimum wage of $20 per hour for fast food workers. Proponents of the measure believe that it will not only allow workers to meet essential needs, but potentially move them up the economic ladder to greater financial security. Restaurant owners and operators contend that they may need to cut back on employee hours, eliminate jobs, and increase their prices. We'll look at how this measure will impact the Bay Area.

Half a million California workers will get $20 minimum wage starting today -- because they work in fast food. Dave and Debbie talk about the issue of minimum wage at hand and the impact this can have on the employee, the employer and the consumer.     

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports a new $20 minimum wage for California fast food workers starts Monday.

April 1 will see fast-food workers' minimum wage reach $20 an hour, following the passing of AB 1228 through the state legislature in September. The wage increase, now slightly under the cost of living in the state, is a shift that fast-food franchisees across the state are now trying to adapt to through changes in hiring and hourly staffing. Some workers may start to see their hours shortened and their shifts more demanding, while franchisees struggle to balance their books to the new normal. With a lot of change coming up–what's the pulse of the state's fast food industry now and what are their expectations for the future? Today on AirTalk, we'll check in with listeners who are part of the industry and talk to a panel of experts. Joining us today is Tia Koonse, legal & policy research manager at the UCLA Labor Center, Michaela Mendelson, Southern California El Pollo Loco franchisee, and Anneisha Williams, Jack in the Box worker & member of the California Fast Food Workers Union.

Hometown Radio 01/02/23 5p: Gordon Mullin looks at the impact of minimum wage on fast food workers

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed a new law that raises the minimum wage from $15.50 to $20 per hour for fast-food workers starting April 1, 2024. Chris Simms, CEO and Founder of Lazy Dog, a casual dining restaurant that started in California and spans 49 locations across the US, joins the podcast for a discussion of how this law may impact employees, owners, franchisees, and consumers across the entire food-service industry.   In this podcast, we look (and will continue in future episodes) at compensation from a variety of perspectives. We'll cover tipping models from convenience stores to fine dining; what happens when wins slant toward some of the workforce and are not shared by all; and how automation figures into the equation.The “Distinguished” podcast is produced by Boston University School of Hospitality Administration.

Comparison with First Responders: Putting things in perspective: Drawing a comparative analysis between the responsibilities, risks, and demands faced by first responders versus fast food workers. Retention and recruitment: How can we attract and retain talent in emergency services when entry-level jobs in other sectors offer competitive, if not higher, wages? The Nature of Fast Food Jobs: Historically entry-level: Fast food jobs have traditionally served as a stepping stone for young workers, providing them with essential soft skills and a springboard to move onto other career paths. Addressing the Demand for First Responders: The looming crisis: With growing urban populations and an increase in emergency situations, there's a pressing need for more first responders. Conclusion:
