If this passes, not only will plenty of people lose their jobs, but I can also imagine lots more will be made part-time workers in order for the companies to save on paying benefits and extra hours. This wage increase will not help the fast food workers as a whole. Sure, some will benefit, but it won't be good in the grand scheme of things.
At the same time, it would be nice if paying them more would also make them better employees. Those guys are not paid enough to care about washing their hands when they come out of the bathroom or prevent them from licking your taco shells. I'd like some assurance that these guys aren't spreading disease in the community. (yea, I went on a bit of a tangent)
