D.C. City Council May Repeal Law To Raise Tipped Worker Wages

WASHINGTON (AP) — The city council in the nation’s capital may repeal a law passed this summer that will raise tipped worker wages to match minimum wage by 2026.
News outlets report a Monday hearing on the bill seemed to foretell the legislation’s doom, with many speaking out against it. Minimum wage for tipped workers in Washington is $3.89 an hour, while standard minimum wage is $13.25.
Initiative 77 supporters say tips aren’t allowing those workers to earn minimum wage
