The California Fast Food Workers Union is calling for the state's minimum wage to rise to $20.70.
The union says the increase will help workers "keep up with inflation."
Businesses are still adjusting to the latest hike, and this could be a breaking point.

Fresh off the heels of a major wage hike in April, California fast food workers are calling for a new one "to keep up with the rising cost of living."
