The majority of financial advice is geared to people with 9-5 jobs: “Negotiate for a raise.” “Max out your 401k match.” “Budget based on your income.” Where's the financial advice for people who earn money in tips: restaurant servers, bartenders, hairstylists, concierge, valets, ushers, nail salon workers, strippers, or other service industry professionals? What about gig economy workers, freelancers and entrepreneurs? People who don't earn a regular paycheck? Not only do these workers earn a volatile and unpredictable income, they also often don't have job-provided health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They need to provide themselves with these benefits. What should they do? That's where Barbara Sloan comes in. She's a financial coach and author of “Tipped: the life changing guide to financial freedom for waitresses, bartenders, strippers, and all other service industry professionals.” Her book and advice applies to anyone who works outside of the traditional confines and systems. If you (or someone you know) works for tips, you'll love Barbara. And if you're curious about exploring work outside of the normal 9-to-5, and wonder how to set yourself up for financial success when your income is hit-or-miss, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

Tipped workers make a subminimum wage and during the pandemic tips have declined while harassment has increased. This hour, improving work and wages for tipped workers.

The pandemic and related precautions affected millions of restaurant workers around the country — unemployment in the restaurant industry shot up to more than 40% nationwide in April 2020, and to 60% in the Bay Area, according to the State of Restaurant Workers report from the advocacy group Restaurant Opportunities Centers United. Zoe Caras, national research associate for the organization, explains what the report found in the Bay Area and what those numbers meant for workers.

This week's episode of our new weekly legal podcast, On The Merits, explores the push to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers. The hourly wage for tipped workers, $2.13, hasn't gone up in decades and is $5.12 lower than for non-tipped workers. (3:01) We also get a lesson in negligence while learning about a casino pool party accident that led to an embarrassing benchslap. (12:14)

In most of the country, tipped workers, such as restaurant servers and bartenders, earn a minimum wage of less than $5 an hour -- in 17 states they earn just $2.13. Advocates with One Fair Wage, a campaign to raise the federal minimum wage for tipped workers, say the over-reliance on tips to meet the most basic needs makes workers more vulnerable to sexual harassment and abuse. We’ll talk with One Fair Wage’s president and with the director of the documentary, “Waging Change”, which tells the stories of tip workers, the movement to raise their pay and the industry forces that fight higher wages.

Directed by Peabody award-winning filmmaker Abby Ginzberg, "Waging Change" follows service industry workers in Detroit and across the country as they struggle to make ends meet and the activists fighting for a higher wage for tipped workers.

One of the groups of people who have been hit especially hard by the coronavirus pandemic are people who make a living by earning tips. In some places across the country, restaurants, hotels, and bars are opening again -- but in most cases they're restricted to 25% or 50% capacity. Can a tipped worker even scratch out a living at a place with coronavirus capacity restrictions? Jennifer Lee, Law Professor at Temple University and Director of the Social Justice Lawyering Clinic joins KYW In Depth to talk about the minimum wage and the crisis facing workers who make their living earning tips.

New York State announced last week that it will phase out the use of a subminimum wage for about 70,000 tipped workers by the end of 2020. The change will apply to people working in "miscellaneous" service industries, like nail and hair salons, dog groomers, doormen, but it will not apply to the largest segment of tipped workers--waiters, bartenders, and bussers. The decision to quietly exclude restaurant workers from the wage raise comes after massive pressure from a conservative advocacy group funded by restaurant owners. For more, we speak with Mohini Sharma, lead organizer for Metro Justice and a former tipped worker, who participated in the One Fair Wage campaign to end New York State's subminimum wage.

Episode 101: I know--you're shocked, shocked to hear that major drug companies are dodging taxes & stashing billions in tax havens around the world. Oxfam's Robbie Silverman joins me to talk about the organization's blockbuster report, and how Big Pharma's Gang of Four is hurting millions of people. Then, it's over to the nation's Capitol where the local politicians think they know better than voters--after the people voted to require higher minimum wages for tipped workers, the mayor and her cronies want to repeal the law because--get this--the voters didn't understand what they were supporting. I discuss the gory details of this perversion of democracy with David Cooper of the Economic Policy Institute who has a dynamite report on the value of higher wages for tipped workers.
