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.

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

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

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