Trump wants waiters and bartenders to give away their tips to their boss

Waiters and bartenders could be forced to hand over their tips under a proposed Trump administration rule


The Trump administration proposed a rule that would force waiters and bartenders to share their tips.
Opponents of the rule fear that restaurant employers would pocket most of the tip money for themselves.
One estimate pegged the amount employers could keep at $5.8 billion.

Restaurant servers could see their paychecks take a hit if a newly proposed Trump-administration policy goes through.

The Department of Labor proposed this month to roll back a 2011 Obama-era policy, The Fair Labor Standards Act, that allows restaurant employees to keep their tips instead of having to share them with their non-tipped employees.
Forcing servers to pool their tips could redirect some of their earnings to non-tipped workers, such as the line cooks who make hourly wages. However, opponents of the measure fear it will lead to employers pocketing the shared tip money for themselves.

The proposed regulations are "not just about sharing tips with the back-of-the-house staff — that part would be OK — but employers would have the right to decide what to do with the tips," Saru Jayaraman, president of Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, an advocacy group for restaurant workers, told The Washington Post.

In fact, if the proposal becomes law, employers could pocket $5.8 billion of workers' tips nationwide, according to an estimate from the left-leaning think tank Economic Policy Institute.
"This rule will result in a substantial shift of tips from workers to employers," a report from the think tank said.

According to Reuters, The Supreme Court is considering whether to review a challenge to the Obama-administration tip-pooling ban by the National Restaurant Association and other groups.

Even redistributing tips to include non tipped workers would be outrageous. it would be plain communism. But that's not what's at stake here. The bill states that employers would take tips from waiters and bartenders but it doesn't mention what to do with the money. They would have the right to pocket it.
We know exactly what will happen : In private companies, the owner of the restaurant may decide to redistribute the tips among all the employees. But in Public corporatioons restaurants, the boards will require him to maximise profits so he will have no choice but to take all the tip money and redistribute nothing. And that's exactly the aim of the measure : allow public corporation restaurant to maximize their profits, take the money from the staff and give it to the boards.


Redistribute the money from the poors and the middle class to the riches and the big coporations, that the core of Trump's policy : that's what's this would do, that's what the tax bill will does.

After you've finished chugging on a cock, do you normally eat a breath mint?

 

[Johan]

Should I ?
You seemto know a lot about chugging on cocks, I guess you have some expertise acquired through from practice...

 

[Will E Worm]

I don't agree with this. Tips belong to the person who received them.

You fuckers voted for this idiot.

I voted for the old Trump. He changed some and that has to stop.

No, he didn't change, you just fell for the bullshit. Big shock.

 

[Supafly]

Will's erratic mumblings I understand, but it's weird to see a guy like Ace, who at other times seems to do so well, adore this madman so much.

Is it because Trump is trhe biggest Asshat of them all???

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I adore him? No. He's definitely not my first choice, but he is my president and I wish the bullshit on the periphery would go away so the man could do his job. His biggest saving grace is that he isn't Hilldawg or Obama.

Almost everything Trump has done or is trying to do is to mostly benefit himself.

The freedom to dissent is a vital part of democracy, without it you're living in a dictatorship.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
Democrats/liberals have to question every decision of a Republican government, and republicans/conservatives have to question every decision of a Democrat government.

No.

Steve Bannon 'The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over'

After his ouster from the West Wing on Friday, ex-White House chief strategist Steve Bannon declared the Trump presidency that his brand of populist, right-wing conservatives helped make a reality is "over."

"The Trump presidency that we fought for, and won, is over," Bannon said in an interview with The Weekly Standard. "We still have a huge movement, and we will make something of this Trump presidency. But that presidency is over. It'll be something else."

No. So, there were some changes.

Trump is the same piece of shit used car selling conman that he's been his entire bankruptcy-ridden career.

No.

No, he did not changed

Bannon said Trump changed but these were the words of someone who had just been fired. Off course he had harsh words but the reality is he had just realised that there's only one thing that matters to Donald Trump : Donald Trump

Everything he did, everything he does and evrything he will do serves one purpose : be profitable to him, his brand, his business.
If Trump was offered a deal from God to reach long-lasting world peace in exchande for 49% of his belongings, he wouldn't sign, he wouldn't ever consider signing.

They wouldn't be able to give them nothing because the only reason they can pay waitstaff less than minimum wage is because of those tips. The distribution would have to be, at minimum, enough that they're earning minimum wage or else it's a clear labor law violation.

A smart owner would give his waitstaff a fair wage and keep the tips. Severs get a stable, reasonable income and the owner would profit in the long run.
