  Great story about NALC Chicago Branch #11 member Damien Tate! "Among his peers, his reputation is for running his routes — mail routes, that is — faster than just about anyone. The 41-year-old Forest Park man has his typical work day down to a science. Wake up at 6 a.m. Clock in at the post office by 7:15. Go to the postal facility’s “cage” to gather each customer’s mail in under eight seconds. Hit the streets by 9. Finish by 3:30 p.m. Clock out. Repeat."

  "I hear a lot of talk about the minimum wage, but many people don’t realize that the regular minimum wage does not apply to tipped workers like me. That’s why I support the 'Raise Chicago' ordinance, which would eliminate the subminimum tipped wage. The minimum wage for tipped workers in Chicago is just $6.40 an hour. The rest of my wages are supposed to come from tips, but many times those tips fall short. If my total pay is below the minimum wage, the employer is supposed to cover the difference, but that doesn’t always happen. Imagine trying to live on just $6.40 an hour."
