Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are putting tips at the center of their election battle.

Both candidates have been vying for working-class voters in the 2024 election.

Some critics say the debate detracts from the fight to eliminate sub-minimum wages and support policies that would raise wages.

The Culinary Union in Nevada , which represents 60,000 workers, has endorsed the proposal.

Seven states have banned sub-minimum wage for tipped workers.

Culinary Union , Bernie Sanders and 29 other US Democratic senators have sponsored legislation to phase out sub minimum wage.

Industry groups have continued fighting against efforts to raise the minimum wage and ban sub- minimum wages.

The proclivity of tipping in the US has origins stemming from slavery.
