In recent developments,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.onefairwage.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=tips-act-introduced-to-end-subminimum-wage-and-tax-on-tips-for-tipped-workers-2727428" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">One Fair Wage</a> attempted to push for the elimination of the tip credit in Ohio, but it did not make it onto the ballot. Additionally, a federal appeals court struck down the Department of Labor’s revised 80/20 rule, which affected how much of a worker's time could be spent on tip-supporting tasks.In support of the TIPS Act, Rep. Horsford stated, "No one working full-time in America should live in poverty." Meanwhile, industry advocates argue that eliminating the tip credit would harm restaurant workers, as it could limit earning potential and force employers to cut hours or raise prices.Franchisees in the restaurant industry may be particularly affected by this proposed legislation, as changes to wage structures could have significant operational and financial impacts on their businesses.For more recent news, check out these related 1851 Franchise articles:&nbsp;<ul><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/why-c-stores-are-becoming-more-of-a-threat-to-qsr-franchises-2727410#franchise-news">Why C-Stores are Becoming More of a Threat to QSR Franchises</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/looming-fed-rate-cuts-lay-foundation-for-growth-landscape-in-franchising-2727372#franchise-news">Looming Fed Rate Cuts Lay Foundation for Growth Landscape in Franchising</a></li><li><a href="https://1851franchise.com/top-15-us-quick-service-chains-earning-the-most-per-restaurant-2727308#franchise-news">Top 15 U.S. Quick-Service Chains Earning the Most per Restaurant</a></li></ul>
