Professor Saru Jayaraman founded One Fair Wage to eliminated sub-minimum wage in America. As a lawyer turned activist, Saru has been relentless in this effort to standardize wages across America, a ballot-worthy topic that matters most to many voters across the nation.

In this episode, Saru and I talk about America’s tipping culture, the troubled history from pre-emancipation days, and the fight on the frontlines against the other NRA, the National Restaurant Association.
