Voted today in DC for one reason, and one reason only…
"There is nothing in the legislation that would guarantee diners would continue to tip 20% as they see menu prices increase, staff decrease, & service charges get added to their bills." Read more about why Liz, a DC tipped employee, is voting #NOon82 ⬇️ voteno82.com/news/f/as-a-dc-…

I am also a bartender in #WashingtonDC. I started doing so because of the tips, which helped me get out of debt to hopefully, own a home. #Initiative82 would destroy this. It would cut my hourly pay by 50-75% (I did the math being in finance), derailing my #homeownership. #NOon82

Happy Election Day! A small news tidbit: looks like @trayonwhite remains opposed to I82, after initiative opponent @MarkLeeDC spotted this supportive post of a “No on I82” rally on his Insta story. He was one of the few CMs not to respond for this story: washingtoncitypaper.com/arti…

If your voting today and still undecided, Vote No on #Initiative82. It doesn't address the root causes of wage theft, and is seen in low barrier to entry industries such as construction and domestic care. It won't improve worker pay for support staff, it eliminates the position.

On @VoteNo82, initially I was very undecided on this. I enjoy the European system of no tips. But I have asked almost every server/waiter we have had over the last 6+ months and literally 95% of them were adamantly against eliminating the tipped wage.

If passed, #Initiative82 will significantly reduce the earning potential for tipped employees in our city. Restaurants would face major increases in labor costs and be forced to eliminate positions. The employees who will be directly impacted are asking you to vote #NOon82.
