 Nearly 100 turned out for Tuesday night’s DC LaborFest screening of “Waging Change,” introduced by filmmaker Abby Ginzburg. A lively Q&A followed, with One Fair Wage president Saru Jayaraman (photo) and National Policy Campaign Director Nikki Cole. “We all need to support the effort to end the tipped minimum wage so that no workers are forced to live off their tips,” said Jayaraman. Adding to the pandemic crisis, many such workers do not qualify for unemployment insurance because their actual wages were too low or because of their immigration status. If you missed the screening, it’s playing at the Women Make Movies Virtual Film Festival May 22-31. Director John Sayles will introduce “Eight Men Out” at next week’s DC LaborFest screening on May 26; register here.
