Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Bobby Scott are pushing for an increase to the federal minimum wage and the elimination of the nearly 60-year-old tip credit.

ORO VALLEY, Ariz. — Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Bobby Scott are advocating for an increase to the federal minimum wage and the elimination of the nearly 60-year-old tip credit."If I have to pay $17 for my server, the menu is going to go up," said Bud Sayso, the owner of Tuk Tuk Thai.

"Right now they're averaging about twenty bucks an hour," Sayso said while showing logs of employee averages. Saurabh Sareen has been in the restaurant business for 22 years. Like Sayso, the owner of Saffron Indian Bistro, he believes the increase in wages means making up for the cost elsewhere.
