The ballot effort to increase the minimum wage for tipped workers faces a new challenge as opponents seek to disqualify signatures collected by organizers.

The Massachusetts Restaurant Association filed an objection to several signatures and petition sheets submitted to the secretary of state by the ballot campaign group, One Fair Wage. The signatures were the final hurdle for ballot organizers to get the issue in front of voters in November.

    My hair stylist (owns her salon) recently implemented a no-gratuities policy. Everyone has to charge whatever they think is fair to make up for there not being a gratuity and clients know exactly how much the job will cost with no pressure to go higher. This is how everything ought to be.
