The ballot effort to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers faces a new challenge as opponents seek to disqualify signatures collected by organizers.
The Massachusetts Restaurant Association filed an objection to several signatures and petition sheets submitted to the secretary of state by the ballot campaign group, One Fair Wage. The signatures were the final hurdle for ballot organizers to get the issue in front of voters in November.
Continue advocating for the owner class then i guess.
Staff make more money on a tipped system than not.
And do you think that extra money comes from the owners?
I don’t think he reached that stage of development tbh.
The extra money comes from the customer no matter the system.
But now wages will stay down while ownership makes more.
Correct but with a tipping, the onus is on the consumer and the most affected would be the worker should the customer not have enough “compassion”… The owner has little to no risk and often even steals from employees
With a livable wage and no tipping system, the owner is mandated to pay a proper wage. They may choose to raise prices but then the onus is on them and also the risk. If they raise prices too much, they’ll lose clients
