Wage theft;[edit | edit source]
Return to top. See: Wikipedia: Wage theft. And: Wikipedia: One Fair Wage.
- Employers steal billions from workers’ paychecks each year. From: Economic Policy Institute.
- Across Portland, Restaurant Owners Are Running Afoul of the Feds for Pooling Employees’ Tips.
- Analyzing Ohio’s two $15 minimum wage proposals. Republicans oppose significantly helping tipped workers.
States with tipped workers getting the same minimum wage as everybody else still have plenty of restaurants. Restaurants can't compete based on how small their hourly wage is. Customers no longer need to pay huge tips because workers get a higher hourly wage regardless of tips. Customers can still leave tips, but don't feel extorted. Republican leaders oppose higher minimum wages (of all kinds, but especially for tipped workers) because as pointed out elsewhere on this page, a main goal of the GOP is to concentrate wealth. Besides opposing progressive cannabis laws.
From a US Bureau of Labor Statistics page is this wage info:
Percentile | 10% | 25% | 50%
