SANTA FE — The Santa Fe City Council voted on Wednesday to raise its minimum wage from $15 an hour to $17.50 in 2027, eliciting praise from workers’ rights advocates
Federally, if they don’t earn enough tips to meet the regular minimum wage, the employer has to make up the difference. Not sure if California New Mexico has similar rules in place, though.
Because it’s a pretty normal detail to go unmentioned when discussing minimum wage. That detail has always been the case, at least as far as I’m aware.
What does this mean for tip workers and their minimum wage? Will it be 17.50 too?
If they’re making a living wage, I personally am no longer tipping.
The cost of this is/will be passed to the consumer, so that’s my rationalization.
Businesses already charge customers the most they’re willing and able to pay.
Tipping is a fucking bullshit scam derived from slavery. Nobody should rely on tips, all jobs should pay lovable wages.
I will continue to dream…
Stupid Americans have this idea that tipping is necessary for good service.
They’re genuinely too brain-dead to comprehend firing people when they don’t do their job properly.
In all honesty, they’ve just been conditioned to be morons so people richer than them can be even richer.
I’m pretty sure tip workers still have the lower minimum base wage.

Oh, duh
That needs to be in the article and made clear, rather sloppy reporting actually. What about gig workers?

This is actually the first time I’ve ever read an article about the minimum wage and it doesn’t discuss tipped wages.
Mind you, it’s also the first Santa Fe minimum wage news article I’ve ever seen.
