TAKE ACTION
NOW
Say "THANK
YOU" to the restuarants that helped "Save Our
Tips"
As the legislative session inches toward a close, take some
time to stop by and thank the restaurants that openly spoke out
against lowering or freezing the wages of servers.
Visit The Bleeding Deacon in St. Louis, MO and say THANK YOU
for helping us save the wages of thousand of servers across the
state. Then visit http://www.stl-jwj.org/UnionHouses.pdf for a
list of union restaurants in the metro area.
Do you know other restaurants who have or are willing to
openly support fair wages for servers and the Save Our Tips
campaign? Tell us at info@mojwj.org
