On November 5th, Vote YES on 5 for a One Fair Wage Plus Tips on Top!

Vote Yes for FAIRNESS
It’s fair for Workers:
Instead of being paid the current tipped minimum wage of just $6.75 an hour, Massachusetts tipped workers deserve the full minimum wage with tips on top. Workers in 7 other states earn a full wage plus tips, and they enjoy robust tips and a growing restaurant industry where menu prices are comparable to Massachusetts. This law would create greater financial stability and predictability, acknowledging workers’ skills and professionalism, and make it easier for workers to make ends meet.
It’s fair for Employers:
Many Massachusetts small businesses are already paying the full minimum wage plus tips. Big restaurant corporations should do the same. This would reduce employee turnover, improve service quality, and help grow the restaurant industry.
It’s fair for Consumers:
Big restaurant corporations are not paying their fair share and are forcing consumers to cover their employees’ wages through tips. Tips should be a reward for good service, not a subsidy for low wages paid by large corporations.
