Act Now to Oppose Minimum Wage Bill

Act Now to Oppose Minimum Wage Bill

February 27, 2026

Assembly Bill 2646 would hurt farmers, farm workers, and consumers

Act now.

Urge California’s legislators to oppose a $19.75 per hour minimum wage for agricultural employees.

Increasing the minimum wage to $19.75 per hour will lead to significant job loss, income reductions, closures of small businesses, and price increases for all Californians.

Voters already rejected an $18 minimum wage in 2024, because it would have been devastating to all Californians.

A $19.75 minimum wage that increases annually is unfeasible, especially as businesses currently face labor shortages, supply chain challenges, spiking utility rates, skyrocketing property taxes and more.

The cost of doing business has risen drastically in recent years and continues to worsen. Tell your senator, assemblymember, and the governor we cannot afford a $19.75 minimum wage and to oppose Assembly Bill 2646.
