Rally over wages for Baltimore’s tipped workers pushed back until early 2024
What happened at the original rally?
The rally that was originally scheduled for December 2023 in Baltimore, Maryland to advocate for raising the minimum wage for tipped workers was postponed according to the advocacy group One Fair Wage. The rally was aimed at raising awareness about increasing the tipped minimum wage in Maryland, which is currently $3.63 per hour, to the state’s regular minimum wage.
New date for the rescheduled rally
The rally has now been rescheduled and will take place in January 2024 instead according to the source. Advocates are continuing their effort to raise public support for increasing wages for workers such as restaurant servers and bartenders who are paid less than the regular minimum wage since they receive tips. The group One Fair Wage believes all workers deserve a living wage from their employers, not relying on tips from customers to make up the difference.
