Guess What Happened
Next?
This is one more example of an act
that is designed to take autonomy away from working people. The Trump folks
seem terrified at the thought of a working person controlling any part of their
own life. This allows a boss to completely control what waiters and waitresses
do with their time and tips. They want all workers de-fanged and helpless against
the control of their over-lords an overseers—their bosses. -SJ Otto
From New
York:
The Trump administration is changing labor
law so as to allow restaurants to control their employee tip
pool. When you’re enacting a regulatory change like this, you have to follow
procedures, which include an analysis of its effects. The analysis showed
that the thing anybody could guess would happen when you let the boss control
the tip pool would happen: The employees would get a lot less of it. In this
case, waiters, waitresses, and dishwashers would lose out on hundreds of
millions of dollars.
What happened next? If your guess is, the Trump administration decided not to implement this change because
it doesn’t want to steal from working-class people, you probably
haven’t been following the Republican Party very closely for the last few
decades. No, the real response was to omit the analysis.
