I can’t believe I’m siding with the South Park guys here

Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.
Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.
But the article literally talks about them asking for a pooled-tip structure and that they were being supported by the union. One of the workers says that the $30 an hour is a 40% pay cut
are they?
Do the workers making tips ever have any say in where the tips go? If the tips aren't shared fairly or the BOH isn't compensated comparatively then that is on the management, how could they be a scab in their position?
