Montgomery Co. latest to consider increasing tipped minimum wage

Tipped workers, such as restaurant servers, would see their hourly pay increase under a bill now under consideration by the Montgomery County Council in Maryland. On Tuesday, Council members Will Jawando and Kristin Mink co-sponsored legislation to increase the tipped minimum wage in the state’s largest county. At a news conference shortly after introducing Bill 3523, Jawando called the action an “enormous step forward” for the nearly 15,000 tipped workers in Montgomery County.
