Alma Adams: “Registered Apprenticeships are essential pathways to a middle-class life.”

In one of the richest countries in the world no one working full-time should be living in poverty.

The current sub-minimum wage with tipped employees perpetuates low pay, enables, inexcusable levels of wage theft, and it leads to higher poverty rates.

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