The Raise the Wage Act is a federal bill with broad support that includes raising the minimum wage to $15/hour and eliminating the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers. We need to make our voices heard to ensure that the bill passes through Congress. To do that, we are collecting stories of service industry workers across the country to show our support for One Fair Wage for ALL. Please join us by sharing your experiences.

• This is long overdue. We are at a critical moment for tipped service industry workers. We are essential workers, yet we are facing unprecedented rates of housing and food insecurity, unemployment and poverty. 

• We have returned to work to face very dangerous conditions, including potential exposure to COVID-19 and increased hostility and sexual harassment from customers, all for a subminimum wage with tips down 50-75%. 

• The need for One Fair Wage - a full minimum wage of $15 with tips on top - has never been greater than now.
