Should Massachusetts increase the tipped workers’ base pay to minimum wage?
Choices
Poll Description

With Election Day fewer than two months away, debate continues to heat up surrounding Massachusetts Question 5: whether or not the state should gradually raise the hourly minimum wage for tipped workers to the non-tipped minimum wage. At present, Massachusetts law allows tipped employees to be paid $6.75 per hour, provided their tips increase their base pay to the state’s minimum wage of $15. If their tips do not, their employer must make up the difference.

On Sept. 5, the organization Committee to Protect Tips, a staunch opponent of the increase, released a video encouraging constituents to vote ‘No’ on Question 5, stating 91% of tipped employees oppose the ballot question and the increase would result in workers earning less than they do currently.
