Don't Let City Hall Price Small Businesses Out of NYC.
$29/Hour Will Close Our Doors: Tell City Hall to Vote NO on Int 757!
New York City's small businesses are the backbone of our neighborhoods, but a new bill in the City Council threatens to close our doors for good. Introduction 757 (Int 757) would mandate a massive minimum wage hike, forcing businesses with under 500 employees to pay $29 an hour by 2031, starting with a jump to $19 an hour as soon as next year.
While we all support fair pay for hard work, a localized $29/hour mandate is simply unsustainable for the independent restaurants, corner stores, and mom-and-pop shops already struggling with inflation, high rent, and tight margins. If passed, this bill will lead to inevitable layoffs, slashed hours, higher prices for consumers, and forced closures across the five boroughs.
We cannot let City Hall price us out of our own city.
