On Monday, restaurant workers from across New York State will gather at the Capitol in Albany to launch the campaign for A1200 & S415-A One Fair Wage legislation. This would end New York’s two-tier wage system for tipped workers. Currently, these workers earn between $10.35-$11.00 per hour before tips.

The bills, sponsored by Assemblywoman Jessica González-Rojas and State Senator Robert Jackson, would require employers to pay a full minimum wage with tips on top. Lawmakers say this would benefit hundreds of thousands of workers across the state while reducing their reliance on unpredictable tips and addressing what they say are “systemic inequities that disproportionately impact women and workers of color.”

Organizers say this campaign launch will hold lawmakers accountable and force them to declare their stance: Will they stand with workers or with corporate interests?
