It’s unfair and unnecessary to further single out local restaurant owners who are already struggling.

Ask your County Supervisor to protect Santa Clara County restaurants.

Santa Clara County is home to more than 1,600 quick-service restaurants. The vast majority of restaurants are independent small businesses—locally owned by people of color, immigrants and women. Local restaurants are already struggling to survive last year’s $20/hour minimum wage for fast food workers—a 25% wage hike. Now, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors is considering an unnecessary and unfair training proposal that singles out local restaurants—yet again—at a time when local restaurants and the County can least afford it.

Santa Clara County Restaurants:

I/we OPPOSE this unnecessary and unfair proposal that would once again single out local restaurants in Santa Clara County. Local restaurants are already grappling with the impacts of last year’s 25% wage hike for fast food workers that has forced many to lay off employees, reduce hours, raise prices, or shut down altogether. Now is not the time to further single out Santa Clara County restaurants with an unnecessary, duplicative and premature off-site third-party training program—at a time when local restaurants and the County can least afford it.
