One Fair Wage aims to end all subminimum wages in the United States and increase the sustainability of wages and working conditions in the service sector. Employers must pay the full minimum wage with fair, non-discriminatory tips on top, in order to lift millions of tipped and subminimum wage workers nationally out of poverty.
