And Georgia’s minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is less than half the Golden State’s base wage of $15.50, which will rise to $16 an hour on Jan. 1.

The company generates more than $7 billion in annual revenue and employs about 20,000 people.

In 2018, the company announced it was investing $250 million to expand and upgrade a manufacturing facility in Andalusia, Ala. Two years later, Shaw said it would be spending $400 million to expand operations in Aiken County, S.C. — a move that was expected to create 300 new jobs.
