... yet they want to increase the minimum wage to $20!

Tell your legislators NOW that your small business cannot afford a minimum wage increase.

Last week, the Maryland General Assembly announced legislation to raise the minimum wage to $20 through a ballot measure. This initiative follows only days after the minimum wage was already raised to $15 (effective January 1, 2025).

Maryland ranks 50th in the nation for labor costs. This means it costs more to employ someone in Maryland than anywhere else in the country. Proposing another minimum wage increase could not come at a worse time. Businesses are struggling with the effects of inflation, increased costs, and the pressures of remaining competitive. We don't need to add this to the list. Increasing the minimum wage to $20 is simply unaffordable.

Contact your legislators TODAY to let them know your business can't afford another minimum wage increase!
