California Assemblywoman @LorenaSGonzalez introduced the FAST Recovery Act in response to stories like Lizzet’s.
It would create a fast food sector council—bringing together labor, government and business to set stronger wages and working conditions.

Fast food workers kept many people fed throughout the pandemic. But they face low wages and unsafe conditions.

The FAST Recovery Act is up for a vote today in California’s state house.
It would radically change how the fast food industry operates, give workers a seat at the table and a share in the profits they generate, and serve as a model for other states and industries.
