On this edition of Your Call, we re discussing Waging Change, a new documentary that shines a light on the challenges tipped workers face who are struggling to make ends meet. For years, they have been organizing to end the tipped worker minimum wage, which is under $5 an hour in 43 states. In some states, the tipped wage is $2.13 an hour.
President Biden has promised to raise the federal minimum wage, which hasn t moved in 11 years. Congressional Democrats have reintroduced the Raise the Wage Act, which would gradually increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour by the year 2025. It would also phase out the $2.13 per hour subminimum tipped wage. What else are tipped workers calling for?
