I work hard for $8.75 an hour.” said Amadour. “Jack in the Box feels like they can walk all over us and we're not taking it no more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then another chant rang out, making it clear that Amadour and the rest of the crowd, which included other fast-food workers, weren’t just advocating for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fifteen dollars! A union! Fifteen dollars! A union!” they cried as they marched to a second Jack in the Box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those two basic demands -- $15 an hour and a union contract -- have become the battle cry for millions of fast-food workers across the country. With unions on a decades-long downslide, \u003ca href=\"http://www.seiu.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Service Employees International Union\u003c/a> President Mary Kay Henry saw a chance to connect with disgruntled workers at companies like McDonald's and Jack in the Box and change the public conversation around stagnant wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What union they become a part of or what membership they have is sort of secondary to the first job, which is to make sure they win $15 and a union,” said Henry. The union has spent a reported $10 million on the campaign, which has spread from New York to Chicago, Detroit and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If San Francisco and Oakland can raise their minimum wage and there can still be job growth and small business growth, it shows that what the right wing is saying is wrong. This is not a job killer. This is a job creator,” Henry added.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">How a president's remarks and a campaign by fast-food workers has struck a chord in the Bay Area.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Over the last two years, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.seiu1021.org/politics/raise-the-bay/\">“Raise the Bay”\u003c/a> regional effort has recruited and trained dozens of fast-food employees to tell their stories in order to change public perceptions of who they are and what their lives are like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance: workers like KFC employee Shonda Roberts, with two daughters in college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was probably working (at KFC) six months, and an organizer happened to come in and had a petition there to up the pay — minimum wage $15 — and I signed it [and] went to a meeting,\" Roberts recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then they flew me out to Detroit maybe six months later for a conference. And when I saw 1,500 young adults, all fast-food workers just standing in solidarity, I was hooked. It was like a drug,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama mentioned the minimum wage in his \u003ca href=\"http://www.whitehouse.gov/sotu\" target=\"_blank\">2014 State of the Union address\u003c/a>, calling on “every mayor, governor and state legislator in America\" to take on the issue. UC Berkeley economist Ken Jacobs said Obama’s remarks were a coup for ongoing local efforts in Bay Area communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has really changed the debate.” said Jacobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose was ahead of the wave of Bay Area minimum-wage campaigns, with voters approving \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/election2012/2012/09/26/in-san-jose-voters-ponder-raising-minimum-wage-by-25-percent/\" target=\"_blank\">a raise to $10 an hour\u003c/a> (and future increases) in 2012. Earlier this year, both \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/06/east-bay-minimum+wage-conversation-spreads/\" target=\"_blank\">Richmond\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-minimum-wage/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeley\u003c/a> moved to raise minimum wages. And this fall, voters in San Francisco and Oakland will consider ballot initiatives that would raise wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local chambers of commerce and many business owners have argued against the hefty minimum-wage increases, saying that increased costs for employers will lead to layoffs and hurt workers, not help them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael LeBlanc, founder and principal of \u003ca href=\"http://www.picanrestaurant.com/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">downtown Oakland's Picán restaurant\u003c/a>, voiced those very concerns when he appeared before the Oakland City Council in July to testify against a campaign to raise the city's minimum wage by more than 35 percent. That proposal, placed on Oakland's November ballot through a petition drive led by a community group called \u003ca href=\"http://www.liftupoakland.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Lift Up Oakland\u003c/a>, would hike minimum pay from $9 to $12.25 an hour, effective next March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the minimum wage increases in the form that Lift Up Oakland has it, I will lose eight or nine people, and I don’t have a choice about that,” LeBlanc told the council as it considered an alternate proposal for a more gradual increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council voted down the alternative, which would have raised wages to $12.25 next October and $13.50 in 2018. Councilman Noel Gallo, one of those who voted against the alternate plan, said the council’s previous lack of action helped fuel the Lift Up Oakland campaign for strong action on a wage hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all dropped the ball,\" he said. \"The individual employees and unions took it upon their own to provide leadership and go do it.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

A union! Fifteen dollars! A union!” they cried as they marched to a second Jack in the Box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those two basic demands -- $15 an hour and a union contract -- have become the battle cry for millions of fast-food workers across the country. With unions on a decades-long downslide, \u003ca href=\"http://www.seiu.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Service Employees International Union\u003c/a> President Mary Kay Henry saw a chance to connect with disgruntled workers at companies like McDonald's and Jack in the Box and change the public conversation around stagnant wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What union they become a part of or what membership they have is sort of secondary to the first job, which is to make sure they win $15 and a union,” said Henry. The union has spent a reported $10 million on the campaign, which has spread from New York to Chicago, Detroit and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If San Francisco and Oakland can raise their minimum wage and there can still be job growth and small business growth, it shows that what the right wing is saying is wrong. This is not a job killer. This is a job creator,” Henry added.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">How a president's remarks and a campaign by fast-food workers has struck a chord in the Bay Area.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Over the last two years, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.seiu1021.org/politics/raise-the-bay/\">“Raise the Bay”\u003c/a> regional effort has recruited and trained dozens of fast-food employees to tell their stories in order to change public perceptions of who they are and what their lives are like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance: workers like KFC employee Shonda Roberts, with two daughters in college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was probably working (at KFC) six months, and an organizer happened to come in and had a petition there to up the pay — minimum wage $15 — and I signed it [and] went to a meeting,\" Roberts recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And then they flew me out to Detroit maybe six months later for a conference. And when I saw 1,500 young adults, all fast-food workers just standing in solidarity, I was hooked. It was like a drug,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Obama mentioned the minimum wage in his \u003ca href=\"http://www.whitehouse.gov/sotu\" target=\"_blank\">2014 State of the Union address\u003c/a>, calling on “every mayor, governor and state legislator in America\" to take on the issue. UC Berkeley economist Ken Jacobs said Obama’s remarks were a coup for ongoing local efforts in Bay Area communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has really changed the debate.” said Jacobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose was ahead of the wave of Bay Area minimum-wage campaigns, with voters approving \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/election2012/2012/09/26/in-san-jose-voters-ponder-raising-minimum-wage-by-25-percent/\" target=\"_blank\">a raise to $10 an hour\u003c/a> (and future increases) in 2012. Earlier this year, both \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/06/east-bay-minimum+wage-conversation-spreads/\" target=\"_blank\">Richmond\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/tag/berkeley-minimum-wage/\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeley\u003c/a> moved to raise minimum wages. And this fall, voters in San Francisco and Oakland will consider ballot initiatives that would raise wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local chambers of commerce and many business owners have argued against the hefty minimum-wage increases, saying that increased costs for employers will lead to layoffs and hurt workers, not help them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael LeBlanc, founder and principal of \u003ca href=\"http://www.picanrestaurant.com/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">downtown Oakland's Picán restaurant\u003c/a>, voiced those very concerns when he appeared before the Oakland City Council in July to testify against a campaign to raise the city's minimum wage by more than 35 percent. That proposal, placed on Oakland's November ballot through a petition drive led by a community group called \u003ca href=\"http://www.liftupoakland.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Lift Up Oakland\u003c/a>, would hike minimum pay from $9 to $12.25 an hour, effective next March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the minimum wage increases in the form that Lift Up Oakland has it, I will lose eight or nine people, and I don’t have a choice about that,” LeBlanc told the council as it considered an alternate proposal for a more gradual increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The City Council voted down the alternative, which would have raised wages to $12.25 next October and $13.50 in 2018. Councilman Noel Gallo, one of those who voted against the alternate plan, said the council’s previous lack of action helped fuel the Lift Up Oakland campaign for strong action on a wage hike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all dropped the ball,\" he said. \"The individual employees and unions took it upon their own to provide leadership and go do it.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

One of the quickest ways to do that, she says, would be raising minimum wage. Higher pay would ensure that when the cost of living increases, regular folks could afford to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just about getting into the tech jobs.” Zabin says. “It’s also about improving the jobs that tech creates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zabin’s colleague Enrico Moretti calculates that each tech job eventually creates five additional jobs outside of the innovation sector. The wealth that tech generates leads to the employment of more people in areas like food service and construction. That’s why Zabin says other tech hubs should follow Seattle’s lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seattle is increasing minimum wage to $15 an hour. San Francisco has a similar measure on this November’s ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are the economic costs of that?” Zabin asks. “It means those wealthy tech workers have to pay more for their restaurant meals and their retail expenditures, and their services, and not very much more — 1 or 2 or 3 percentage points more when we get a wage jump of 50 or 60 percent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The start-up scene is relatively new in Oakland, but the city is already grappling with wage inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, Oakland will ask voters to decide whether to increase minimum wage to $12.25 an hour, and in West Oakland, there are protests against two new redevelopment zones that community members fear will speed up gentrification. As more start-ups move in, locals are wondering what roll tech companies will play in these issues.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It will happen much more rapidly and it will be a much grittier experience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘If you don’t invest, then over the long haul what you do is you transfer ownership of the city to someone new.’\u003ccite>Ollis Simmons,\u003cbr>\nYouth Uprisings\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Economist Carol Zabin thinks that distributing the wealth generated by tech could ease the tensions. Zabin is the research director at the \u003ca href=\"http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/index.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC Berkeley Labor Center\u003c/a>. One of the quickest ways to do that, she says, would be raising minimum wage. Higher pay would ensure that when the cost of living increases, regular folks could afford to stay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just about getting into the tech jobs.” Zabin says. “It’s also about improving the jobs that tech creates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zabin’s colleague Enrico Moretti calculates that each tech job eventually creates five additional jobs outside of the innovation sector. The wealth that tech generates leads to the employment of more people in areas like food service and construction. That’s why Zabin says other tech hubs should follow Seattle’s lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seattle is increasing minimum wage to $15 an hour. San Francisco has a similar measure on this November’s ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What are the economic costs of that?” Zabin asks. “It means those wealthy tech workers have to pay more for their restaurant meals and their retail expenditures, and their services, and not very much more — 1 or 2 or 3 percentage points more when we get a wage jump of 50 or 60 percent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The start-up scene is relatively new in Oakland, but the city is already grappling with wage inequality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November, Oakland will ask voters to decide whether to increase minimum wage to $12.25 an hour, and in West Oakland, there are protests against two new redevelopment zones that community members fear will speed up gentrification. As more start-ups move in, locals are wondering what roll tech companies will play in these issues.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A second proposal, withdrawn during last night's meeting, would have raised the minimum to $10 later this year, and then continued with adjustments that would reportedly bring it to $15.25 by 2020.

We hear a lot about tension in San Francisco over Google buses and people being priced out of the area, as well as a housing affordability crisis throughout the area. How does the Bay Area stack up to the rest of the nation on income inequality?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>David McCuan\u003c/strong>: Well, When you look at what's happened since the Great Recession of 2007, there are elements of the Bay Area economy that have surged ahead. Obviously tech. What we see as the controversy over the Google buses would be a great example of that. However, if you look at what's happened to the bottom 10th percentile of the population, or the bottom 20th percentile, they've been left behind on wages, on benefits, cost of living, housing and so forth, and they've been disproportionately left behind since we've been measuring these statistics in the late 1970s. So what we've really seen is a fundamental disconnect between the top 80th percentile -- those folks that are growing in that top element -- and those folks at the very bottom. And that is stark, not only in San Francisco, but across different elements of the Bay Area, whether we're in the East Bay, in the South Bay or the North Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dornhelm\u003c/strong>: The president also talked about the minimum wage in his proposal in his speech. Is that a big political issue locally now, too?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McCuan\u003c/strong>: Certainly. The minimum wage is not only an important issue locally, as we see what's happening with localities and local governments trying to grapple with increases in the minimum wage, but also within California. The governor (Jerry Brown) signed a bill last year to increase the minimum wage to $10 an hour in California by 2016. And then you have conservative Republican Ron Unz, who also has been promoting a ballot measure to increase the minimum wage to $12 in California. We've seen this as well in the Southland and the L.A. basin. But there has been a move to increase the minimum wage to make it a living wage. But the problem there if you look at what it costs a family per month in their family budget to live in San Francisco County, the minimum wage, all these proposals, don't keep up with just the basic necessities, from child care, transportation, food and so on. And so this disparity has been growing larger and larger. But the focus has moved away from the political graveyard that is Washington, D.C., to Sacramento and localities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dornhelm\u003c/strong>: Were there additional messages in the president's theme and speech that had local resonance?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McCuan\u003c/strong>: There certainly are. If you look at widening gaps in education and job access for women, attention to children, these are often areas that get left out in most budgets for politicians. But when you look at what the president talked about for equal pay for women, when you look at increases in educational opportunity, job access, this is a way to lift people out of poverty, and obviously women and children are much more likely to be victims of poverty, and they've been left behind largely in the economic recoveries. So the president's overall theme of pushing, for example, equal pay for equal work and continuing that work that they began earlier in his administration is an important element for California and an important element for what we see in terms of stratification -- the income inequality that reaches right down here in the Bay Area as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dornhelm\u003c/strong>: Thank you very much for talking with me, Dr. McCuan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McCuan\u003c/strong>: Thank you very much for having me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Don Clyde of KQED News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
