Back in December, we reported on the Trump administration's proposed changes to tip-pooling regulations that would allow employers to pocket servers' tips as long as the employees continue to make minimum wage. That's right: Employers could take servers' tips and just dole out the minimum wage. But wait, it gets worse!

Turns out, the Department Of Labor knew how crappy this would make life for restaurant employees. This Bloomberg Law article, citing sources within the agency, reveals that the Department Of Labor knowingly buried its own data that showed restaurant workers would lose billions of dollars in gratuities under the new proposal.

    no kidding, i can't tell if he or I or you or all of us are very confused about TMB's stance on this.

    he seems to be arguing for what we're saying should have happened and is coming across as aggressively ignorant of the cause of the argument. there is no argument between us. TMB, did you read the article?

    you don't have to change your mindset or even view TMB. you just have to aim it at something else, because you aren't wrong except for who you are arguing with. We're trying to agree with you, don't make it that much harder to do it!
