💨 Abstract

Mayor Muriel Bowser is considering repealing Initiative 82, a 2022 voter-approved measure that ended the tipped minimum wage and established a single wage scale for all workers. Longtime bartender Max Hawla, who supports the law, says it has provided financial security for workers in the hospitality industry. However, restaurant and bar owners argue that the higher wages are causing them business losses.
