Stop the Pay Cuts in Arizona! Vote NO on Prop 138!
Arizona’s Republican legislators put on the November ballot a constitutional amendment (Prop 138) that would allow employers to pay tipped workers 25% less than the full minimum wage!
The proposed tipped wage under Prop 138 would be less than the current state tipped rate (already at $3 below the regular minimum wage) and significantly less than the rate established by the Flagstaff minimum wage ordinance, which is phasing out the exploitative subminimum tipped wage completely.
Help us fight back! Not only is the two-wage system largely responsible for rampant wage theft in the restaurant industry, but it also makes tipped workers more vulnerable to sexual harassment and discrimination.
Prop 138 is extremely dangerous because we, the voters, can't easily change it in the future. While legislators can simply put a constitutional amendment on the ballot through their legislative process, as citizens to qualify a ballot measure amending Arizona's constitution, we must collect 383,923 valid signatures—and that is almost prohibitively high.
The constitutional amendment would not only lower tipped workers' wages across Arizona but also in Flagstaff, where voters approved eliminating the subminimum tipped wage TWICE!
We need your help today to protect working families and fight back the corporate restaurant lobby, working overtime to keep the industry wages and worker protections low.
