Too many people are working in jobs that do not pay them enough to live on. Given that reality, we must prevent employers from illegally pocketing workers' tips.\n\n\"The previous administration implemented policies that consistently prioritized businesses and employers over workers. The rule implemented by the Trump administration that allowed employers to keep employees' tips was misguided and contrary to regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In December 2019, I joined Senator Murray in urging DOL to abandon this harmful regulation, and I am proud Secretary Walsh and the Biden Administration have answered our call.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://delauro.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/delauro-applauds-biden-administration-decision-roll-back-misguided-tip"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7879608310759068, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
