With new ordinance, Santa Fe becomes first city to tie minimum wage to rental costs
SANTA FE — The Santa Fe City Council voted on Wednesday to raise its minimum wage from $15 an hour to $17.50 in 2027, eliciting praise from workers’ rights advocates
Oh, it's time to get my Representatives on the Phone, bother them about this brand-new change that will make everyone's lives better! It just sucks that I had to go to the city's website because Abqjournal is blocking anyone who doesn't disable ad-block (in this day and age, it's non-negotiable).
The fuck? They named city after a car?
What does this mean for tip workers and their minimum wage? Will it be 17.50 too?
If they're making a living wage, I personally am no longer tipping.
The cost of this is/will be passed to the consumer, so that's my rationalization.
Tipping is a fucking bullshit scam derived from slavery. Nobody should rely on tips, all jobs should pay livable wages.
I will continue to dream...
I'm pretty sure tip workers still have the lower minimum base wage.

Businesses already charge customers the most they're willing and able to pay.
Santa Fe stands out among the major cities.
They also have a law that forbids building past a certain height.
They get my approval.

Hmm, I wonder why they are having issues with available affordable housing. 🤔
