Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta says he backs legislation that would prevent employers from taking tips from workers.
“I fully support a provision that says establishments should not be permitted to keep any portion of a tip,” he said at a March 6 U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee hearing. He suggested, however, that such a directive should come from Congress in the form of legislation, and not as a rule from his agency.
