BOWIE, Md. A trade group representing tire dealers across the country is coming out against the idea of raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour over time.
The Tire Industry Association has signed on to a letter to federal legislators expressing concern about the Raise the Wage Act of 2021. Small businesses, ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic, are struggling to keep their doors open and keep employees on payroll. More than doubling the federal minimum wage presents a significant obstacle to ailing small businesses trying to survive the pandemic, the letter states.
TIA, with more than 13,000 members, represents companies both big and small and many of them have four or fewer locations.
