The letter from Silver Castle System to George Schwabe expresses concern over the potential passing of the Pepper Bill (S.1349), which would impose a minimum wage of 65₫ on the restaurant industry. The company argues that such a wage would be unsustainable for their business and could disrupt their wage structure. They request Schwabe's assistance in defeating the bill. Schwabe responds, agreeing with the concerns raised and expressing his commitment to fighting against the legislation.
