It's almost like #initiative82 is a bad fucking policy that will ruin a once-vibrant industry and cost hundreds if not thousands of us career bar and restaurant workers our jobs.
#initiative82 is bad policy. People are losing wages, they're losing their livelihoods. And the outsiders who pushed for it have lied every step of the way. DC is the first city to implement this disastrous policy in over 50 years. This is a failed social experiment.
This is a direct result of #Initiative82 passing.
The proponents moved a policy that took money out of workers’ hands and gave it to the owners that they condemned.
Service Charges belong to the house unlike tips and gratuities.
Tip credit elimination hurts the workers. Period
DC knows that every worker deserves a fair wage. That's why voters overwhelming passed #Initiative82 last year.
A new bill in DC Council would make the law worse for workers — and at risk of being overturned. Join us on Monday to learn how to fight it: bit.ly/protect-worker…

Why do I -- and so many other supporters of One Fair Wage -- have to waste time testifying against the WRAP Act when Kenyan McDuffie committed to respect #Initiative82 ?
“We do not want changes, backed by industry lobbyists, to undo the will of the voters AGAIN.” - @DC4D Chair Alex Dodds speaking out against CM McDuffie's Office’s deceptively named bill “Workers & Restaurants are Priorities Act of 2023” which is an attempt to repeal #Initiative82 📣 🚨
In the fine print: Sanders and Scott looking to eliminate the federal tip credit. Obviously they aren't paying attention to the chaos #Initiative82 caused in their D.C. neighborhoods. democrats-edworkforce.house.gov/imo/media/doc/…
DC #Initiative82 Tipped-Worker Aftermath:
“As restaurants and customers alike wrestle with fees, it’s fair to ask: Is I-82 actually creating better pay conditions for workers? The answers, it turns out, are mixed and murky.”
