Alma Adams: “Prior to 1935, workers had few rights to freely engage in activities to improve working conditions or pay.”

Tipped workers are unfortunately paid less per hour than non-tipped workers, and they have less access to benefits.

It is my wish that today's hearing will provide us with an opportunity for bipartisan collaboration on policy solutions that safeguard the civil rights and dignity of all individuals.

I am HBCU strong, and want to continue to make sure that our schools not only survive, but that they thrive.
