Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Randy Mastro, a former deputy New York City mayor turned thorn-in-the-side of state and local government, has found a new target: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s proposal to raise minimum wages in the state’s fast food restaurants.
Mastro confirmed Tuesday that he’s been tapped by a coalition of fast food franchisees to contest the governor’s plan to bump the fast food industry’s minimum wage to $15 per hour. Many of the franchisees in the group, he said, are minority and women-owned businesses whose operations could be endangered by the wage hike.
