I dislike this proposal. Just like I'm not a fan of $20/hour minimum wage for fast food in California. I don't see why we should hold service workers that get tips, and in California's case, those that work at fast food, above other wage earners.

It feels degenerate that the government is signalling to us that we should e.g. work in fast food and as a waiter over preschools and child care.



Especially in states like California, where there is no separate lower tipped wage for anyone.


Well, for one the SEIU is a significant political voting bloc that no politician or business wants to cross
