CALL TO ACTION: Feb 13 is the National Day of Action! Visit http://www.livingofftips.com to join our campaign to raise the tipped minimum wage! The majority of people earning subminimum wages and living off tips are WOMEN. Is it a coincidence that the tipped minimum wage has been frozen at $2.13 since 1991? We don’t think so. Feb 14 use the hashtag #loveyourserver to stand in solidarity with servers on the busiest restaurant day of the year!

Tipped Over the Edge: Gender Inequality in the Restaurant Business
The recent report available in full HERE reminds us that this is directly tied to violence because women have to rely on the mercy of customers, while 7% of American women work in restaurants, 37% of all sexual harassment claims come from the restaurant industry. This is unacceptable!
