☆ The era of America's subminimum wage for tipped restaurant workers may be ending
  + stars: | 2023-09-23 | by ( Tim Mullaney | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +12 min
After a months-long public campaign that began shortly after Mayor Brandon Johnson (right) took office in May, advocates reached a deal with restaurant industry lobbyists to phase out the tipped-minimum wage over five years. "The closest pending victory is in Chicago," said Saru Jayaraman, founder and president of the advocacy group One Fair Wage. Three-fourths said they would reduce the number of tipped workers on their payroll, and nearly half said the cuts would be significant. The $9.48 an hour wage most workers got cost the restaurant $5,449.61, he said, a fraction of the $17,198 in tips workers earned. That's one reason why the restaurant industry engaged in a kind of bidding war against itself, to find a compromise solution that politicians like Alderman Carlos Ramirez Rosa, Johnson's floor manager in the City Council, would buy.

☆ U.S. FDA panel backs OTC opioid overdose drug, proposes label changes
  + stars: | 2023-02-16 | by ( Bhanvi Satija Pratik Jain | Bhanvi Satija | Pratik Jain | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Feb 15 (Reuters) - Emergent BioSolutions Inc's (EBS.N) over-the-counter version of opioid overdose reversing drug received unanimous support from U.S. Food and Drug Administration's panel of advisers, sending shares of the contract drugmaker up nearly 16% after market. The vote puts the naloxone-based treatment Narcan on track to potentially become the first opioid overdose drug to be sold OTC nationwide. Naloxone rapidly reverses or blocks the effects of an overdose, restoring normal respiration. However, most panelists emphasized that OTC use of the nasal spray was safe and proposed ways to improve its labeling, to avoid using the drug wrong. Signage is seen outside of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) headquarters in White Oak, Maryland, U.S., August 29, 2020.
☆ Nancy Pelosi condemns a reporter's question about whether she'll serve her full 2-year term: 'Such a waste of my time'

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is stepping down from her leadership role at the end of the year. But she just won re-election to a full two-year term and has filed paperwork to run again in 2024. "Don't bother me with a question like that," she told a reporter who asked if she'll serve the full term. However, such paperwork is largely a formality and doesn't necessarily indicate whether she will ultimately decide to run again. Meanwhile, speculation continues to brew in San Francisco about who might succeed Pelosi when she does choose to exit Congress.
