IT'S OFFICIAL: Today corporate interest groups officially withdrew their referendum efforts in California, clearing the way for the creation of the nation's first Fast Food Council. Los Angeles worker leader and Jack in the Box worker Anneisha Williams released the following statement:

Quote from Anneisha Williams:
“It’s time to get to work! After ten years of organizing, going on strike and never backing down, even in the face of a referendum, California fast food workers finally have a seat at the table.

At the Fast Food Council, workers like me will have an official venue to not only raise our concerns, but to shape real improvements to our pay, working conditions and working hours.

We now have the power to win transformational changes for every fast food cook, cashier and barista in our state.”
