Since 1991, politicians in Congress have given themselves over 30 pay raises, but the tipped minimum wage has stayed the same at $2.13/hour.
It’s time for Nebraska to stop waiting for Congress to act, and raise wages for tipped workers for the first time in 30 years. #NELegpic.twitter.com/TfzBLU5nRE
Watch the Business and Labor Committee hearing to abolish Nebraska's tipped minimum wage here: http://netnebraska.org/interactive-multimedia/government/legislative-hearing-business-and-labor-committee-room-1524-8 …
If you support this, reach out to your state senator and members of the committee! #NELeg
I was a tipped earner in high school as a busser (1990-93). On a bad night our waitresses earned $100 in 6 hours, or $16.66 an hour. Good nights brought in $200, or $33.34 an hour. They typically shared 10% to the busser, that would leave $15 to $30 an hour. 1/2
If a waitress didn’t want to share their tips with the busser, they didn’t.
Most the tip earners didn’t want an increase in hourly wages because it would ultimately reduce tip income while increasing tax burden.
Tip income is harder for the government to track.

Can't we just take the next logical step, ending tipping entirely? Why not pay a suitable regular wage? Tipping is an archaic practice in this day and age.
Let's do it.
I know a lot of waiters that would be taking huge pay cuts.
From someone who waited tables in Nebraska when I tell people here in Oregon that in Nebraska people make 2.13 an hour waiting tables they can’t believe it.
"An entire workforce enabled by ag and devoted to our nutrition is as vulnerable as it is essential. Workers in food prep & farming occupations take home a less-than-living annual wage of $26,670 and $31,340, respectively."
