Episode 336: Republicans Double Down on Trump’s “No Taxes on Tips” Campaign

The Working Lunch

Last week, we discussed how the former and possibly future President of the United States, Donald Trump, suggested that if elected, he would eliminate taxes on tipped income. This week, his loyalists in the U.S. Senate followed suit introducing legislation to do just that. While the bill may ever see the light of day, the conversation itself is putting the labor community and their friends on the blue team in a serious political jam. We’ll discuss. And Minneapolis continues to be the national hotbed of labor organizing with additional high-end restaurants facing unionization campaigns this week. What is going on up there in the city of lakes? We dive into that. We’ll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
