Title: Your waitress makes $2.13 per hour. And now Trump wants to take her tips | Editorial Author: Source: Star Ledger Date: Jan 24, 2018
*Summary:* New Jersey, like many states, has a $2.13 minimum wage for restaurant servers, so "they live on tips" is simply a fact. And last month, Donald Trump's Department of Labor made it legal for employers to grab a part of that tip for themselves. That's right, the boss gets first dibs, as long as these employees are paid up to the regular minimum wage once their pay is calculated.
