The Culinary Union is waging a campaign to abolish sub-minimum wages and the taxation of tips at the federal level, citing the outdated practice of paying tipped workers less than the standard minimum wage. According to News 3 Las Vegas, the labor union highlighted that while Nevada has prohibited a sub-minimum wage for tipped workers, the plight remains national with over one million employees earning at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
