| https://sablan.house.gov/looking-out-american-workers | Looking out for American workers | 2019-12-16 | 2019 | 2019-12 | Democrat | House | MP | Gregorio Sablan | S001177 | sablan.house.gov | legacy | Looking out for American workers Dec 15, 2019 When it comes to workers who depend on tips, the Marianas has stronger legal protections than many states where employers can pay their tipped workers less than the minimum wage. Based on that Marianas standard, I sent a formal objection to a proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Labor that would allow employers in those states to pay subminimum wage even when workers were not earning tips. Our Commonwealth law protects Marianas workers from this abuse, but I, as a member of the Education and Labor Committee, I have a responsibility to think about workers everywhere in America. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
