If you truly support the Upstate economy, then you can't support
this unprecedented wage mandate,» said Unshackle Upstate Executive Director Greg Biryla.
«After a budget process that included
unprecedented anti-employer actions — including a drastic increase to the minimum
wage and the most expansive paid family leave
mandate in the nation — the employers and the communities we represent are deeply concerned about their ability to operate in a state that is consistently viewed among the worst in the nation to start or grow a business by every objective ranking while effectively competing in a global marketplace,» the groups wrote in the letter.
