Tipped Wage Compromise, Lead Pipe Removal Lags, and Del Sur Expands

from City Cast Chicago · host City Cast

City Council reached a near-unanimous decision to pause the subminimum wage hike for tipped workers this week. When they voted to free the subminimum wage hike back in March, Mayor Brandon Johnson ultimately vetoed their decision. Johnson confirmed this week he will accept this compromise and not pursue another veto. WBEZ’s Susie An and Block Club Chicago’s Madison Savedra are here to discuss why this ordinance is being reversed just three years in. Plus, Illinois is getting millions for lead pipe removal, and changes are coming to Ravenwood’s popular Del Sur Bakery.  Good News: South West Side Zine Library Want some more City Cast Chicago news?
