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.

I've worked in a number of places as a chef (from low to high end) and that was never the case anywhere I worked. To be fair, it's been almost a decade though, so maybe I'm out of date.

Fwiw, the industry has changed. Chefs are paid on par with foh nowadays.

There is a good chance local markets differ here too.

Not wrong. The local markets i have experience with are the most populated locations in the United States. Portland, chicago, New york, miami, seattle, la, sf, atlanta.

I would imagine living in hondo, tx sucks ass but that's not because of tipping.
