Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) briefly got back behind the bar to support the Democratic Party-sponsored Raise the Wage Act on Friday. “Still got it!” tweeted the lawmaker, who called for U.S. workers to receive at least $15 an hour in between taking orders and serving drinks for around an hour at The Queensboro in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. “I was nervous that I may have lost my touch,” she wrote. “That muscle memory doesn’t quit.”

I was nervous that I may have lost my touch - still got it! That muscle memory doesn’t quit 😉

Ocasio-Cortez said “all labor has dignity” in footage shared online from the event, which was organized by Restaurant Opportunities Centers United ― a group campaigning for tipped workers to receive the full minimum wage. “And the way that we give labor dignity is by paying people the respect and the value that they are worth at minimum,” she added. “We have to make one fair wage and we have to raise the national minimum wage to $15 an hour, nothing less.”
