I have a column in @boulderrl.bsky.social about the implications of the "tipped wage offset" and its implications for deteriorating housing affordability in #boulder boulderreportinglab.org/2026/05/10/b...
boulderreportinglab.org
Opinion | Brian Keegan: Boulder's tipped wage debate rests on a myth about what restaurant workers earn
The argument for slowing tipped wage increases assumes workers are already thriving. The data suggests otherwise.

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.  
That’s what we have to change.

Gen Z men are the most pro-union generation yet, and the reason is simple: unions help workers build real financial stability. Higher wages, better benefits, and a voice on the job matter, especially in an economy where costs keep rising and job security feels out of reach. seiu.co/4jvSKcN

How Starbucks tried to quash union activity in Colorado
The coffee giant shuttered a store in Colorado Springs in 2022 shortly after its workers voted to unionize. A federal agency later ordered Starbucks to reopen that store, along with 22 others.

Today, Starbucks workers in 40+ cities began a historic ULP strike. But we’re NOT finished. We're prepared to escalate with more stores striking if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing, and the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
