Tipping Workers
Workers in tipping category jobs such as waithelp and bell workers will get an increase of nearly 9.9 percent by the end of the five year agreement. They will receive a 2 percent wage increase in the first, second, and third year and 1.75 percent in the fourth and fifth year of the contract. Beginning on January 2009, tipping category workers will receive two times their base pay when they take vacations. They currently receive one and one-half times their pay.
