British and EU MPs back Independent tips campaign

By paulmcnally

A cross-party group of more than 50 MPs has signed a Commons motion backing The Indepdendent’s campaign for fair tips for hospitality workers, including restaurant, bar and hotel staff.

The paper is campaigning for an EU-wide protocol on tipping, with staff paid at least the minimum wage before tips. A debate on the issue is due to take place when the Strasbourg parliament reconvenes after the summer break.
