An ordinance to restore Chicago's subminimum wage for tipped workers is set to be voted on by the City Council, potentially setting up a policy showdown for Mayor Brandon Johnson. The One Fair Wage policy, which was passed in 2023 and is now in its third year of implementation, requires servers to be paid the city's full minimum wage on top of tips starting in July 2028. However, opponents of the policy argue that it has been detrimental to the restaurant industry and its workers. The mayor and the council's chief sponsor, Jessie Fuentes, have billed the 2023 ordinance as a labor achievement that most benefits Black and Latino workers. Despite a potential veto, Johnson remains committed to raising the wages of tipped workers.
