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.

Immediately following the press conference, we will attend a 1:30 p.m. meeting of the Oakland City Council Community & Economic Development Committee, which will be hearing a city-commissioned report on raising the minimum wage.  We will tell councilmembers that Oakland workers cannot wait until 2017 for a raise in the minimum wage.
