Among those opposed to the change is the Las Vegas-based Culinary Union. The union notes how the proposal comes into conflict with Nevada law.
Due to the Culinary Union’s work to pass a living wage amendment in 2006, the Nevada Constitution forbids offsetting tips against the minimum wage in Nevada,” Geoconda Arguello-Kline, secretary-treasurer of the Culinary Union, told Casino.org.
“We are concerned about the effects of [the] Trump administration’s proposal on employees who live in states where an employer can offset tips against the minimum wage,” Arguello-Kline added. “The Culinary Union opposes this shortsighted and anti-worker proposal.”
