My intent was not to complain about minimum wage but to explain how its only in Ohio that this can go up every year and will continue to go up year after year only increasing costs that the consumer pays. And how people on fixed incomes are not getting raises.
My business recieved one of those letters. It didn't ask us to leave the Chamber, it demanded and threaten us to leave or face a boycott. We are a local family owned business. We belong to the Chamber to get health insurance for my family and my employees. We are a small company and would never be able to get insurance on our own. We aren't a union or a state employee who gets everything paid for them. We have to pay ourself!! Now they want to take away that right and hurt our business. Is this union going to support my family?! Are they going to let me get their free health insurance and retirement? Not likely! Mean time they take union dues out of people's check to support political parties and people. Shouldn't that union member get a choice. THIS IS WHY BUSINESSES WILL NOT LOCATE IN THE YOUNGSTOWN AREA. We need to wake up around here.
