During a visit to Las Vegas, President Trump discussed his administration's proposal to exclude tips from federal taxation. Announced earlier in June, the plan targets the hospitality sector, a major employer in Nevada. Trump intends to collaborate with the Republican majority in Congress to advance this legislation, reinforcing his commitment to worker wage increases, albeit without details. The Culinary Workers Union, representing thousands in the area, acknowledged the plan but critiqued it as insufficient without broader reforms addressing the minimum wage for tipped workers.
No tax on tips!" Trump said as a crowd of supporters cheered nearby.
Relief is definitely needed for tip earners, but Nevada workers are smart enough to know the difference between real solutions and wild campaign promises from a convicted felon.
The Culinary Union welcomes plans to end taxes on tips, but it must not end there.
Eliminating taxes on tips and ending the $2.13 sub-minimum wage - that is the reality in too many states across the country - will uplift millions of hospitality workers.
