History

The One Fair Wage campaign tipped wage laws in a number of states including Washington D.C.[2] California and six other states already have One Fair Wage.[3][4] One Fair Wage, chaired by Alicia Renee Farris, is trying to raise the minimum wage in Michigan to $12 an hour by 2022, and to $12 an hour by 2024 for tipped workers.[5][6][7] The issue was brought to the General Election ballot on the November 2018.[8][9][10] The Michigan Chamber of Commerce opposed the plan.[11] In 2020, following the COVID19 crisis, One Fair Wage began campaigning to raise money for restaurant wage workers who lost their jobs due to restaurant closures.[12][13]
