"It was really a game of chance. Every single day. I never knew what I was going to come home with. It was really a rollercoaster. I didn’t knew, week by week, or every two weeks, when we got our check if it would be enough to get through the month. It was just a weird way to live for a few years. And then you really realise this is happening to so many people for so long now. 30 years now the sub-minimum wage has been $2.13 cents and it is an unbelievably low amount."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Saru Jayaraman, President of One Fair Wage:
Sara Jayaraman: "Servers are finally being recognized as this enormous workforce that could turn out to vote but they don’t, because frankly, their needs have not been addressed. If you have seen your wage not go up in 30 years under any presidential administration, would you be motivated to vote? No. You wouldn’t take time off from your three jobs that you use to feed your kids. What’s going to motivate people to vote this year is when electives actually put the issue on the ballot and put it front and center, run on it, make it real, address it. We have to deliver for working people if we want to see them actually turn out to vote."
