Friend,

 

There are 32 million workers in the U.S. who earn less than $15 an hour — including 6 million tipped workers who earn a federal subminimum wage of just $2.13 an hour.

 

These workers voted in record numbers in 2020 expecting this Congress to deliver a raise, but still, Congress has refused to act.

 

But we didn’t work this hard just to give up and turn our backs on these workers. They deserve a pay increase. And we won’t stop until they get it.

Our organization is committed to fighting for one fair wage for all workers — including a $15 federal minimum wage and an end to the subminimum wage for tipped workers.

 

 

 

Sign now if you support this goal, we hope you’ll add your name to our petition to send a message to Congress that it’s time for one fair wage.

Opponents of these policies have made baseless, fear mongering attacks about raising the minimum wage, stating that it would be bad for business.This couldn’t be further from the truth.

 

The Food Labor Research Center at UC Berkeley reports that the seven states that have One Fair Wage - a full minimum wage for tipped workers, with tips on top (CA, OR, WA, NV, MN, AK) have higher restaurant industry sales, higher small business growth rates, higher job growth rates, and the same or higher tipping averages as the states that allow employers to pay the federal subminimum wage of $2.13 an hour. And even the CEO of Denny’s admitted in February that their company is growing faster in CA than in other states because wages are higher and thus customer spending is up.

 

Here’s the bottom line : Raising the minimum wage and phasing out the subminimum wage is good for workers, businesses and the economy as a whole.

 

We need to send a message to Congress and the White House that it’s time for action. Please add your name to stand with us in fighting for one fair wage.
