The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld a proposed ballot question that seeks to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers and allow for tip pooling among all employees, dismissing arguments that the topics are too unrelated to be included in a single question.
Currently, tipped employees in Massachusetts receive a lower hourly wage with the employer allowed to use customer tips to cover the difference to reach the $15 statutory minimum wage, creating a divide between tipped and nontipped workers in terms of earnings.
