TAKE ACTION!

Proposals in Harrisburg to drastically hike the minimum wage would hurt small businesses.

Many small businesses cannot afford higher wages and the payroll taxes that accompany them, but dozens of PA Representatives have co-sponsored a proposal that would raise the minimum wage to $21 an hour. A 290% wage increase is unachievable, especially for businesses already facing inflation, labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, high fuel prices, spiking utility rates, and crushing taxes. Lawmakers should be looking at ways to make it easier to own a small business in Pennsylvania, not harder and more expensive! Instead, they are again proposing increased costs and mandates for Main Street. Tell your legislators you CANNOT afford an increased minimum wage!
