Statement from Unshackle Upstate Regarding Signing of Farm Labor Mandates

July 17th, 2019

“Today’s signing of the new farm labor mandates is another blow to the Upstate economy. New York State has lost thousands of farms in recent years and under these new mandates, more closures and job losses are on the way. Additionally, families will pay more for farm goods at the grocery store and their local farmers market. This bill sends a message that New York is definitely not open for business.”
