Tuesday, May 28, 2024 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] EDITORIAL: Take a wait-and-see approach before eliminating subminimum wage for tipped workers in Illinois “Menu prices are sure to increase, making restaurant visits less appetizing.

And what about those servers who already make more than minimum wage because of tips, especially in bustling, high-end establishments? Nationally, according to a 2022 survey by the National Restaurant Association, tipped workers make an average of $27 an hour.” Read the full editorial here and tell state legislators to VOTE NO on House Bill 5345 and Protect Illinois Hospitality.
