Some low wage fast food chains have released a "study" on the effect of the Fair Share for Health Care Act through a front group called the Employment Policies Institute. The "study" uses bogus figures to mislead the public and the press into thinking Fair Share for Health Care will cost NY jobs.
Unscrupulous low wage employers love increasing their profit margins by skimping on health care coverage and passing the bill on to NY tax payers. They want to avoid the truth - the Fair Share for Health Care Act will have a positive effect on New York's economy.
A recent analysis by David West, director of the Center for a Changing Workforce, who has studied similar legislation considered in other states, estimated as many as 21,600 new jobs will be created.
Tune your web browser to http://www.workingfamiliesparty.org/fairshare to demand the Employment Policies Institute tell the truth and stop putting their health care burden on the backs of New York taxpayers.
Unlike the Republican incumbent in the Assembly, Andrew Brockway is an outspoken supporter of the Fair Share for Health Care Act. Andy understands that North Country residents are unfairly paying the health care bill of multi-million dollar corporations in NY.
