Say "THANK YOU" to the restuarants that
helped "Save Our Tips"
Now that the legislative session is over, take some time to
stop by and thank the restaurants that openly spoke out against
lowering or freezing the wages of servers.
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
