One Fair Wage

One Fair Wage is a nonprofit non-governmental organization in the United States that is led by Saru Jayaraman for restaurant workers to end the sub-minimum wage for tip workers who make less than the minimum wage.However no tipped full service restaurant worker makes less than the federal minimum wage. A tip credit refers to the percentage of the wage made up by the employer paired with tipped income. The Federal Labor Standards Act states that all workers must be paid the federal minimum wage.[1]

History

The One Fair Wage campaign tipped wage laws in a number of states including Washington D.C.[2] California and six other states already have One Fair Wage.[3][4] One Fair Wage, chaired by Alicia Renee Farris, is trying to raise the minimum wage in Michigan to $12 an hour by 2022, and to $12 an hour by 2024 for tipped workers.[5][6][7] The issue was brought to the General Election ballot on the November 2018.[8][9][10] The Michigan Chamber of Commerce opposed the plan.[11] In 2020, following the COVID-19 crisis, One Fair Wage began campaigning to raise money for restaurant wage workers who lost their jobs due to restaurant closures.[12][13]
