Susan Sarandon was handcuffed this week after being arrested for protesting at the New York State Capitol in Albany. According to reports, the Thelma and Louise actress took part in a protest against a new law that exempted restaurant employees who receive tips from receiving the same increase in the minimum wage as those who do not.
Legislators in New York state have confirmed plans to increase the minimum wage to $17 per hour, despite the fact that the initial plans did not include tip-paying restaurant staff. As a result, many proponents of the One Fair Wage movement, including Sarandon of Hollywood, descended upon the New York State Capitol.

One Fair Wage also includes former New York lieutenant governor candidate Ana Maria Archila. In the protest video, members of the group can be seen attempting to cover the concourse with a sizable pink banner before police intervened and made arrests. Sarandon was one of those who received handcuffs for acting disorderly. After going through processing, the activists were later released with appearance tickets. Before being arrested, the Thelma and Louise actress talked about how crucial it is to uphold the rights of restaurant workers.
