Alma Adams: “I encourage you to expand the FMLA to address those problems and I urge you to enact national paid leave insurance.”

The Trump Department of Labor pushed to allow low road employers to steal tipped workers hard earned pay.

The Trump administration's attempt to gut protections for tipped workers have only worsened these issues by allowing employers to steal almost 6 billion dollars of worker's hard-earned tips for themselves each year.

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

It is abundantly clear that there are two agendas present today. The republican's agenda will weaken worker protections and let low road employers off the hook for breaking the law.
