ACTING PA LABOR & INDUSTRY SECRETARY CONTINUES CAMPAIGN FOR MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE WITH FORUM ON TIPPED WORKERS By Hometown4

Berrier highlighted Gov. Tom Wolf’s plan to eliminate tipped wages with an increase in the statewide minimum wage to $12 an hour. She cited that tipped wages could lead to racism and discrimination, and that workers who earn these wages are at an inferior standpoint to fight back.
