Finally address the issue of minimum wage for tipped employees.

For over 20 years, the minimum wage for tipped employees has remained at $2.13/hour plus tips. Tipped employees have been enslaved by the National Restaurant Association and their powerful lobbyists. It is time for action to increase the wages of tipped employees in addition to raising the federal minimum wage. Either end the practice of tipping or raise the wage so that servers, who rely solely on tips, stop receiving paychecks for $0.00.
