NY secretary of state to discuss minimum wage hike at Curran Energy today in Massena

Posted

MASSENA – Governor Andrew Cuomo’s "Fight for Fair Pay" campaign to raise minimum wage statewide will be discussed at 12:30 p.m. at Curran Renewable Energy, 20 Commerce Dr. with New York Secretary of State Cesar Perales.

The governor’s proposal would raise minimum wage from $8.75 an hour to $10.50 throughout the state and $11.50 in New York City.

In total, 1.3 million New Yorkers would be paid more if the governor’s plan is approved, which translates into a $3.4 billion direct economic value statewide, according to a press release from his office.
