“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.

Statement on final passage of SB 8 as the tipped wage compromise is sent to Gov. Whitmer's desk: "Tipped workers will be at work tonight and tomorrow but keeping a watchful -- and hopeful -- eye on Lansing." #SaveMITips spokesperson John Sellek

""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. Read the full My UP Now article here: myupnow.com/news/advocacy-gr…

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.”

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? 🧡 #SaveMITips

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.

Thank you Sen. Kevin Hertel (@Hertelforsenate) for staying true to your word since meeting with tipped workers last summer and listening to their worries and concerns about the future. Your work and leadership made a true difference for working people. #SaveMITips

Thank you Senate Majority Leader @WinnieBrinks for your leadership and your vote in support of the tip credit compromise. Your acknowledgement of our advocacy at the Capitol over the last two years means a lot! From @FOX17 - Grand Rapids

A compromise last night between the Michigan Senate and House led to bipartisan passage of a tipping fix bill, which now moves from the Senate to the House. Thank you to Speaker @RepMattHall for your leadership over the last months to bring our issue to the forefront!
