Kean, NJBIA oppose Sweeney’s call for constitutional amendment on minimum wage
The New Jersey Business and Industry Association, along with Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean, (R-21), of Westfield, came out against Senate President Steve Sweeney’s proposal to increase the minimum wage, saying it will hurt the state’s economy.
“Rigid automatic increases in the minimum wage will make it almost impossible for the state to respond flexibly to future economic conditions,” NJBIA President Phil Kirschner said in a statement. (Hassan, State Street Wire)
