Alma Adams: “We must pass the FAMILY Act so that workers do not have to risk their financial security in order to care for themselves…”

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

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.

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

In my district, thousands of residents are struggling to make ends meet while the Trump administration puts the interests of billionaires above those of ordinary Americans.
