“I’m just glad that they’re keeping the tips, honestly,” said a server at Martin’s Coney Island. "The tips is where it’s at."
This is possible because of YOU! Your efforts have saved the tip credit.

IT'S OVER!
Both the tipping bill and ESTA bills, which are tied together so that both must become law for either to become law, have been sent to Gov. Whitmer for her signature tonight!

An agreement on the leave bill is necessary next because it is tied to the tip credit bill currently on its way to the governor's desk.
We will keep you updated today.

""Save My Tips, Save My Tips, Save My Tips!” echoed in the halls as supporters rallied food service workers and lobbied legislators from the restaurant and lodging industries."
Months later, people are still discussing the impact that tipped workers had at the Capitol in Sept.
“Listening to the people who do the job and saving their income and jobs is not a partisan issue. It’s an economic issue,” said John Sellek from Save MI Tips after the legislative victory.

Thank you, #Michigan Senate. Your votes made a difference!
“They cared. They tried to do a compromise,” said Michele King, a server at the restaurant. “And I’m really glad that they did a compromise, because we were afraid we weren’t going to have a job in time.”
"The voices of working people from Marquette to Monroe and everywhere in between overturned the efforts of an out-of-state activist group powered by millions in dark money which sought to impose a system that no one here asked for or wanted"

Last night, our Democratic friends listened to tipped workers and supported us. Now, they are being threatened. When Massachusetts had the EXACT same proposal on the ballot in November, 2/3 of its voters said NO!
Michigan Senate (@MISenDems and @MISenate),
Thank you for all your hard work yesterday in fighting to protect tipped workers' livelihoods. Your efforts are truly appreciated. Would you do us the honor of being our Valentine? 🧡

Thank you State Representatives @schuette_bill, John Roth, and @jaydeboyer1 for leading the tip credit legislation this year. Without your leadership on HB 4001, we wouldn’t have arrived at the bipartisan solution we have today.
Senator @singhsam94 and Chair @JeremyAllenMoss, because of your commitment to compromise, we now have a bill that will help protect our tips. Your efforts have made it possible to move legislation forward from the Senate to the House with a real finish line in sight.
