"In addition, California requires employers to pay the full state minimum wage ($16.90 an hour) to tipped workers, unlike federal law (FLSA) which sets a $2.13 an hour base wage for tipped workers taken advantage of by states such as Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Wyoming."
"First, the officer claimed that he shot in self-defense because he feared for his life. Second, if the driver was indeed fleeing, which is what all of the video of the situation shows, the threat of imminent harm to the officer didn't exist. Finally, nowhere in the law is it stated that "Disobeying police orders and fleeing" carries a death sentence with no due process. If the officer feared for his life, he should have taken appropriate actions to save his life. In the case of a car moving toward you, that means getting out of the way quickly, since shooting at the driver is not going to stop the car."
"Instead of directing his outrage at Gov. Newsom and California Democrats over the bill on tips for low-wage heroes, perhaps the GOP Santa Cruz County chairman could direct it at his fellow GOP lawmakers, who all voted against the last two minimum wage bills, AB 1228 and SB 2, to pass the California Legislature. Tips are voluntary, wages are not."
A GOP Santa Cruz County chairman directed outrage at Gov. Newsom and California Democrats over a tips bill while fellow GOP lawmakers voted against minimum wage bills AB 1228 and SB 2. Tips are voluntary whereas wages are mandatory. California requires employers to pay the full state minimum wage ($16.90) to tipped workers, unlike federal law's $2.13 base used by many states. An ICE officer claimed self-defense in the fatal shooting of Renee Good, but video shows the driver fleeing, suggesting no imminent threat and questioning the justification and adherence to DOJ policies.
