"is seen as women’s work and is underpaid"
From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

For more about One Fair Wage http://onefairwage.com/about/
"Less than a year after lawmakers struck a so-called “grand bargain” to increase minimum wages for all workers, advocates are mounting a new push to ensure tipped workers receive the same base wage as all other hourly employees.
In all but seven states, the minimum wage for service employees who can earn gratuities — many of whom work in the restaurant industry — is lower than the standard rate. Massachusetts has one of the largest gaps in the country, with a minimum wage of $12 per hour and a minimum tipped wage of $4.35 per hour.
The divide will persist as increases under the new law take effect and the standard minimum wage rises to $15 an hour by 2023 and the minimum tipped wage climbs to $6.75.
Legislation re-filed last week by Sen. Patricia Jehlen and Rep. Tricia Farley-Bouvier would effectively eliminate the separate rate for service workers and include everyone under the larger standard minimum wage."

"Franklin junior Ali Brigham has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 20 through Jan. 26. Brigham is the 17th player chosen as Player of the Week for the 2018-19 school year and the seventh player in the winter season.
Brigham has established herself as one of the top players not only in the league but in the state and had another dominating week for the Panthers, who remain undefeated in league play and with just one loss overall (an exclusion game against Coyle & Cassidy). The 6-foot-3 center, and George Washington University-commit, scored 20-plus points in all three wins this week, including a showdown against fellow league leader Foxboro.
“It’s great coaching a kid that wants to become better,” said Franklin coach John Leighton following the Foxboro win. “She’s not complacent. She’s not close to the player that she wants to be, yet. She keeps expanding her game.”Continue reading the article online
