Ballot question aims to change the way tipped workers get paid in Massachusetts [View all]
BOSTON - A question on the November ballot in Massachusetts could change the way tipped workers get paid.
Brian "Blackie" Black has been a bartender for nearly three decades. Despite the long nights, it's a job that allows him to earn a livable wage.
"The tips are the income," Black stressed. "Tipping is the way that people thank us. And, again, it cuts out ownership."
A question on the November ballot could change the way Black and other tipped workers get paid. That includes bartenders, restaurant servers, hairdressers, nail technicians.
