  One Fair Wage - Ending...

  Before the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the country, more than six million people earned their living as tipped workers in the service industry. They served us in cafes and restaurants, they delivered food to our homes, they drove us wherever we wanted to go, and they worked in nail salons for as little as $2.13 an hour—the federal tipped minimum wage since 1991—leaving them with next to nothing to get by. 
   
   
   
  These workers, unsurprisingly, were among the most vulnerable workers during the pandemic. As businesses across the country closed down or drastically scaled back their services, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs. As in many other areas, the pandemic exposed the inadequacies of the nation's social safety net and minimum-wage standards. 
   
   
   
  One of New York magazine's "Influentials" of New York City, one of CNN's Visionary Women in 2014, and a White House Champion of Change in 2014, Saru Jayaraman is a nationally acclaimed restaurant activist and the author of the bestselling Behind the Kitchen Door. In her new book, One Fair Wage, Jayaraman shines a light on these workers, illustrating how the people left out of the fight for a fair minimum wage are society's most marginalized. They epitomize the direction of our whole economy, reflecting the precariousness and instability that is increasingly the lot of American labor.

In this forward-thinking guide, we intend to investigate the pressing issue of excessive returns in the fashion industry, shedding light on the difficulties posed by the thriving era of online purchasing and apparel exchanges.

In light of this year's anticipated returns, the garment industry faces unprecedented financial strain, highlighting the need for immediate action. 
  In pursuit of transformative solutions, we present " The Fashion Return Tax," a novel strategy intended to promote ethical purchasing. Join us as we explore how this revolutionary tax system has the potential to change consumer behavior and revitalize the apparel industry. 
  Throughout our investigation, a compelling parallel is drawn between the convenience of online shopping and the allure of the most recent fashion trends. High textile return rates pose a problem for consumers and retailers alike. The "Fashion Return Tax" plan is an innovative and promising strategy that promotes responsible consumption and protects the fashion industry's future.
