The decision to go to a $15 per hour minimum wage and eliminate tips was not something Peter took lightly. He did his homework. He looked at other restaurants in other cities that had made a similar move. He talked to all of his employees. He worked closely with the Pioneer Valley Workers Center. which is leading the charge to better the lives of lowwage immigrant workers in western Massachusetts. Eliminating tips allowed Peter to make the wages between better paid waiters and less wellpaid kitchen staff more equitable. It allowed his wait staff to earn a wage they could count on. rather than having to depend on the tipping whims of customers.
