"SNIP.........


The Department of Labor released a proposed rule rescinding portions of its tip regulations, including current restrictions on “tip pooling”—which would mean that, for example, restaurants would be able to pool the tips servers receive and share them with untipped employees such as cooks and dishwashers. But, crucially, the rule doesn’t actually require that employers distribute pooled tips to workers. Under the administration’s proposed rule, as long as the tipped workers earn minimum wage, the employer can legally pocket those tips.

Here’s how the Trump Department of Labor describes it:

Under the proposed rule, workplaces would have the freedom to allow sharing of tips among more employees. The proposal would help decrease wage disparities between tipped and non-tipped workers – an option that is currently restricted by a rule promulgated in 2011 that has been challenged in a number of courts.

2. Not Trump. Favor to the RNC

Or, more specifically, Steve Wynn: RNC treasurer, casino mogul, literal mob stooge, and longtime opponent of motherfucking tips for workers.

That asshole has been suing and mostly losing for years.
