"California Governor Newsom Signs Landmark $25 Minimum Wage Law for Health Care Workers"

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a new law that will gradually raise the minimum wage for health care workers to $25 an hour. The law is expected to benefit over 400,000 health care employees in the state, including medical technicians, nursing assistants, and custodians. The wage hike will be implemented gradually, starting next year. This comes after unions representing lower-paid Kaiser Permanente employees announced a new contract with a $25 minimum wage for the health care giant's California workers. The law is part of a series of industry-specific minimum wage increases in California, with fast-food workers set to earn at least $20 an hour starting next April.
