Massachusetts duelling rallies debate a proposal to increase tipped workers' minimum wage to $15 per hour, phasing out the tip wage over five years.
Duelling rallies over minimum wage for tipped workers occurred in Massachusetts, with both sides advocating for support from lawmakers. A proposed ballot question would require bars, restaurants, hotels, and other hospitality businesses to pay tipped workers the state's $15-per-hour wage floor, along with tips. The plan aims to phase out the tipped wage for workers over five years, allowing them to earn up to $15 per hour and keep their tips. The proposal also allows restaurants to pool tips and distribute them equally among workers.
