The Department has issued a fact sheet entitled,

Fact Sheet .015 Tipped employees under the Fair Labor
Standards Act.

Here is a link to the DOL's fact sheet.
http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/whd/whdfs15.htm

The fact sheet states,

Retention of Tips: The "law" forbids any arrangement
between the employer and the tipped employee whereby any
part of the tip received becomes the property of the
employer.

My question to you is,

What law is this fact sheet, issued by the Department of
Labor, refering to?

I have searched through the code of federal regulations
and yet I have been unable to find any US code that
supports this fact sheet's contention that there is a law
that actually protects the tips consumers present workers.

Is it legal for the US Department of Labor to decieve
workers and consumers into a false perception that tips
are protected under federal law if no such law exists?

I truly believe that there is a fraud being committed
against the citizens of the United States of America.
While the DOL suggests that the tips consumers present
workers in the service industry are protected by federal
laws, the facts seem to point to a conclusion that there
is no such law and that the DOL is committing a fraud on
our public in an effort to cover up the fact that business
owners are being allowed to steal the tipa presented to
workers in the service industry. As long as the public
continues to believe that their tips are being protected
as the property to the workers, they will continue to
provide these additional revenues to business owners.
