The ballot effort to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers faces a new challenge as opponents seek to disqualify signatures collected by organizers.

The Massachusetts Restaurant Association filed an objection to several signatures and petition sheets submitted to the secretary of state by the ballot campaign group, One Fair Wage. The signatures were the final hurdle for ballot organizers to get the issue in front of voters in November.

In most major cities youd be hard pressed to find even an 'ok' position that is paying minumum wage. Most are making 20-25+tips.

Edit: the dishwasher at my restaurant makes 72k. Thats not a joke.
