“I’m just glad that they’re keeping the tips, honestly,” said a server at Martin’s Coney Island. "The tips is where it’s at." This is possible because of YOU! Your efforts have saved the tip credit.

IT'S OVER! Both the tipping bill and ESTA bills, which are tied together so that both must become law for either to become law, have been sent to Gov. Whitmer for her signature tonight!

""Save My Tips, Save My Tips, Save My Tips!” echoed in the halls as supporters rallied food service workers and lobbied legislators from the restaurant and lodging industries." Months later, people are still discussing the impact that tipped workers had at the Capitol in Sept.

Thank you, #Michigan Senate. Your votes made a difference! “They cared. They tried to do a compromise,” said Michele King, a server at the restaurant. “And I’m really glad that they did a compromise, because we were afraid we weren’t going to have a job in time.”

They’ve voted for a Democrat for President for the last 41 years. This is not a Republican issue; this is a BIPARTISAN issue. #SaveMITips #servers #bartenders #tippedworkers #tippedwages #tipcredit #Michigan

Last night, our Democratic friends listened to tipped workers and supported us. Now, they are being threatened. When Massachusetts had the EXACT same proposal on the ballot in November, 2/3 of its voters said NO!

Thank you State Representatives @schuette_bill, John Roth, and @jaydeboyer1 for leading the tip credit legislation this year. Without your leadership on HB 4001, we wouldn’t have arrived at the bipartisan solution we have today.
