The current federal minimum wage for tipped workers is $2.13 and has not increased since 2009. Meanwhile, disabled employees can legally be paid less than their non-disabled counterparts, earning as little as 25 cents per hour. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits down with Daily Show researcher Stephanie O. and the President of One Fair Wage, Saru Jayaraman to discuss how the subminimum wage is legal, how tipping is a legacy of slavery, why restaurant workers aren’t running back to their jobs after the pandemic, and how the “other” NRA, the National Restaurant Association is the biggest obstacle to raising the minimum wage. #DailyShow #Comedy #Podcast

Thank you for talking about and using your platform to talk about sub minimum wage for people with disabilities. People with disabilities get paid pennies for the same work as everyone else there is a lot to go in the disabilities rights movement and this is one major issue to fixing that
ReplyThe problem is with the concept of a “minimum wage”.
ReplyThat literally means the absolute minimum pay allowed by law. In other words, if they could pay nothing and force you to work under terrible conditions until you die, they absolutely would. There’s a term for that, it’s slavery. Businesses would love to have slaves instead of employees. No payroll, no insurance, no workers compensation, nothing but free labor. Tell me they wouldn’t.
Just think about that.
Rise up black women!
Replyas a disabled person who has been watching this show for a number of years THANK YOU! so many people do not realize the oppression (ableism) that disabled folk face, and at worst think people are just being mean to us. but like any other marginalized group, we face social and systemic oppression based on the false idea that we are less than. so thank you for covering this topic and including us
ReplyIf a tip is expected to pay your workers, then it’s not a tip….
