12:02 pm
waiting for instructions on how to get out. >> are a lot a lot of inconvenience. >> i inconvenient because people can only come through this part of the monterey county coast during two windows, 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. that's because cars can only drive through one lane in one direction at a time. in this area of big sur, we had been camping in big sur pfeiffer state park for the entire weekend, on saturday we went went to monterey for the day, and when we tried to come back at maybe 9 p.m, they told us that the road was shut down and they didn't know when it would be back open. so to get a hotel room, this couple came up from ventura. >> they made sure to avoid the already damaged part of highway one in the southern half of monterey county, destroyed from last year's storms. so when this chunk of roadway washed out over the weekend, they were stuck. >> so we got a hotel room and figured it would be fine in the morning. but it wasn't. >> at one point, 1600 people were stuck in that 20 mile

12:07 pm
passed this law last year. now, the two disagree on the impact this wage increase will cause. >> we're no longer hiring. we're not backfilling positions. we're not growing in the state anymore . we're not expanding more locations. and i'm ultimately thinking about selling or closing my business. >> some major chains like mcdonald's, chipotle, starbucks, jack in the box and shake shack have already said they will have to raise menu prices. but researchers say fast food restaurants have been raising their prices for the last ten years, and they have enough of a buffer to afford this. >> it's really when we look at these profit margins that are at record levels, that profits are at record levels in the fast food industry, that we find this very clear evidence that these fast food industry, that the fast food industry in california can largely absorb these operating costs of associated with the minimum wage increase without having to hike prices up any more than they've actually have over the past decade. >> and customers are seeing that, too. >> the amount of money that they
12:08 pm
already charge, they make a significant profit. so it's just something they hold over people's heads to try and keep the wage low. >> i don't think mcdonald's is going to run out of money because they're paying these people a little more. yeah. >> economists also found that the about 550,000 fast food workers in california are not teens making extra spending money. that's a common misconception. they're adults depending on that money to support their family. and a majority of them are poor women of color live in the newsroom. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. amanda. >> thank you. rideshare drivers are rallying in san francisco today, demanding fair treatment and better pay. drivers from uber and lyft are staging a series of events to address critical issues said to be impacting their work. the rally will go from uber headquarters to lyft headquarters, both of which are located in san francisco. some of the issues they plan to address are low pay , unfair deactivations, high company fees and safety risks. drivers say they're also concerned about the impact of
