Hospitality Workers Urge Lawmakers To Keep Lower Tipped Wages In Place

(Lansing, MI) – Hospitality workers are keeping the pressure on state lawmakers to make changes to the minimum wage increase due to take effect next year to keep their lower tipped wages in place. State Representative Graham Filler has sponsored one of the bipartisan bills to address the issue and says restaurants will suffer if they don’t take action. He says servers will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars from their pockets.

The Michigan Supreme Court ruled that lawmakers violated the constitution when they adopted a petition to raise the minimum wage and then amended it during lame duck session
