It may have felt like just another day for fast food workers, but come next paycheck, they'll see a difference in pay.
It was another busy day for the workers at a Wienerschnitzel in East San Jose, but one thing was different. For long time employee Abel Hernandez, nothing about the work changed today, but he'll see a bump in his next paycheck. He was already earning over the minimum wage of $16 an hour, but now he'll go up to $20 an hour.Hernandez said the wage increase won't amount to much extra for him, but he does worry that his hours will be cut.
'He said his stores are raising prices on some items by 10 to 20 cents, but they also offer specials and coupons.They are scaling back hours for workers to the bare minimum, and taking up the slack by increasing the hours he and his father put in.'To be honest with you, I've been working 14 straight days. And it will be three weeks without a day off because of what I've had to do schedule wise,' he said.U.C.
