The back-and-forth is only ramping up as both sides look to sway voters ahead of the election on Nov. 5This November, Massachusetts' Ballot Question 5 asks voters whether tipped workers should receive a gradual wage increase until it reaches the state's minimum wage, with tipping still permitted.
"This is something we need to beat back and make sure it doesn't pass come November," the Boston Democrat said."It's going to take earnings out of server's pockets, it's going to cost more money for operators to run their restaurants," Massachusetts Restaurant Association CEO Stephen Clark said. "Our tips would be different," said Winchester server Kerri Spagnoli."I feel like people would tip a lot less.""There are seven states that have already done this: California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Minnesota, Montana and Alaska," said Saru Jayaraman with One Fair Wage, saying it's paid off there and downplaying no voters' concerns.
