Not all hourly workers make the same wage in Illinois. Those who work in restaurants and receive tips are paid less. And a group of lawmakers want the state to end the tipped minimum wage, instead having all workers be paid the same amount of money. Democrat State Senator Lakesia Collins spoke at a rally for impacted workers.

The sub-minimum wage is $8.40 an hour. If a change to wages were to take effect, workers would still be able to collect tips.
