The Oakland Chamber of Commerce and the Fast Food Industry are asking the Oakland City Council to place a measure to compete with Lift Up Oakland’s on the ballot. This is an attempt to create confusion and keep Oakland workers from getting a raise until 2017.
Some councilmembers are more concerned about the profits of McDonald’s and Burger King than lifting up Oakland workers.
