activists from california bring ballot question to eliminate the tip credit and mandate tip pooling to non-service employees
|
It's time to roll up our sleeves and fight to PROTECT OUR INDUSTRY!
▶WHAT'S HAPPENING
The campaign to protect our tips has begun and while this campaign is going to be costly, it is going to be worthwhile. Tipped employees and restaurants are our cam-paign’s best assets. We will need servers talking to rest-aurant patrons, in-person, on TV and radio and on social media. Tipped employees have paid mortgages, educated children, and built their livelihoods on tips; and they have made it abundantly clear that they are opposed to any proposal that is going to take hard-earned tips out of their pockets. If that message is delivered, we win! ▶ HOW CAN YOU & YOUR STAFF GET INVOLVED?
The path starts with YOU! If you are an owner, manager, server, bartender, or are just want to get involved, visit the Save Our Tips page for more information, to donate, join the mailing list and recent news!
