Sort of. The article claims that employees need to "confront" their employer to get paid, but this is not true. A simple call to the Department of Labor will correct the problem and could result in the employer being fined or worse. You could get fired, but if you are not even getting the minimum wage, you probably don't need the job anyway.
But my point is that Federal law requires restaurant servers to receive at least the Federal minimum wage. But even servers who know the law, will still tell you that they only make $2.13 per hour. Some of them are lying to encourage tipping.
