Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — As state lawmakers are wrapping up work this year, every Republican member of the House of Representatives walked out during Friday’s session.

Republicans say Democrats are refusing to negotiate and talk about wages for tipped workers.

If nothing is done, the minimum wage for tipped workers will increase to $12 an hour on Feb. 21. Those against the increase are concerned that raising the minimum wage will mean less tips, fewer jobs and lower overall wages, while supporters say the change will reduce poverty.

State Rep. Bryan Posthumus, R-Cannon Township, said Democrats had no intention of having a conversation.

“We told (House) Speaker (Joe) Tate that if they want to have the conversation with regard to road funding, saving tipped workers jobs, then we are happy to have that conversation,” Posthumus said. “We’re right here, we’re ready to go.”

Meanwhile, Tate, D-Detroit, said on X: “House Democrats are here at the people’s house ready to do the people’s work. House Republicans? Well, they left the floor because they put politics over people.”
