Raises will vary by role and tenure, with non-tipped workers — who comprise the bulk of employees — receiving pay bumps between 25% and 55% during the life of the contract. The contract also requires management to set employees’ schedules two weeks in advance, provide consistent training and worker safety protocols and respect workers’ stated names and pronouns.
Newly organized workers at Minneapolis club First Avenue ratify their first collective bargaining agreement.
25 to 55% raises over 3 years = 7.4 to 14.6% annual raises.
Plus boosts to predictable schedules, safety, & respect.
