The Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce opposes the passage of Arizona’s Fair Wages and Healthy Families Act initiative, which would increase Arizona’s minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2020 and mandate that all employers provide workers with paid sick leave.
The chamber said it feels that the initiative would negatively affect Arizona’s competitiveness with other states with a minimum wage that far exceeds federal standards. It would also affect the ability of small businesses to grow or hire more employees.
