Talk:Tipped Wage
{{#badges: Front groups}}
Tipped Wage is a front group operated by Berman & Co. Berman & Co. operates a network of dozens of front groups, attack-dog web sites, and alleged think tanks that work to counteract minimum wage campaigns, keep wages low for restaurant workers, and block legislation on food safety, secondhand cigarette smoke, drunk driving, and more.
Tipped Wage is a project of the Employment Policies Institute (EPI), another Berman front group that was created to "argue the importance of minimum wage jobs for the poor and uneducated."[1][2] However, Berman and his Employment Policy Institute have been leaders in a national campaign against the minimum wage, that includes TV ads, print ads, op-ed in state newspapers and more.[3]
According to Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Tipped Wage "opposes efforts to raise the minimum wage for tipped employees."[4]
