9to5 Georgia Working Women

9to5 is a grassroots membership organization that has been instrumental in policy changes for over two decades, serving low-income women, women transitioning from welfare to work and women who have experienced discrimination or harassment on the job. 9to5 Atlanta has three ongoing campaigns. Fair Eats Campaign: The Fair Eats campaign focuses on solutions that bring restaurant workers and the community together to raise wages for local tipped workers, while building for broader state and national change. On a federal level, our campaign is focused on helping to pass the WAGES Act (HR 631). This legislation would restore the value of the minimum wage for tipped workers at60% of the federal minimum wage (which would be $4.35/hr today) and ensure that it is raised every time there is an increase in the regular minimum wage.
