Snake Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) has made fighting for increased worker pay a major part of his presidential campaign, but the campaign has not been as committed to taking care of its own workers. The Sanders campaign's workers have been battling campaign management to give them the $15 minimum wage, which Sanders claims all workers must have, according to a report by the Washington Post. Internal communications from the Sanders campaign show field hires demanding an annual salary equivalent to a $15 hourly minimum wage. Earlier this year, the campaign's staff became the first major campaign in history to unionize. The union representing the campaign staff prepared a draft of a letter to potentially send to Sanders's campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, this week. The letter blasted the campaign for paying "poverty wages." "Given our campaign’s commitment to fighting for a living wage of at least $15.00 an hour, we believe it is only fair that the campaign would carry through this commitment to its own field team," the letter says. https://freebeacon.com/politics/report-sanders-campaign-roiled-by-workers-demanding-higher-wages/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 19, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Bernie's as hypocritical as they come. Hates military spending except when its in Vermont. Preaches giving yet doesn't give shit to charity. He falls into the category of so many leftists that feel just being progressive is enough no matter how much they make. In other words they like the idea of other people's money not their own. Sanders really meant what he said in 1981 when he told attendees at a local United Way fundraiser in Vermont, “I don't believe in charities.” Sanders, then serving as mayor of Burlington, "went on to question the ‘fundamental concepts on which charities are based’ and contended that government, rather than charity organizations, should take over responsibility for social programs,” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/socialism-like-bernie-sanders-is-anti-charity Edited July 19, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I can not tell you how much it enrages me that these fukken dems want me to pay for somebody else's school loans, and someone else's medical insurance!!! Between race, religion, politics...………...I am convinced we are going to see some kind of civil unrest. I have to start getting food stored. At least 30 days supply.

AKIQPilot Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Could it be that Bernie sees the writing on the wall and is just trying to preserve his cash so he can pocket a bundle when he finally does throw in the towel. Field Campaign workers are bailing out now because Bernie wont even pay them $15/hr. What a hypocrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie has been poor his whole life due to nothing at all going for him but a big mouth. His pay has come due to elected office. There’s no way he’s going back to being poor and if that means stiffing everybody and anybody, selling out himself and his base, whatever....it’s going to happen.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted July 19, 2019 Gold Member Share Posted July 19, 2019 I like Bernie... Without him in 2016 we would have hillary as our current president Without him we wouldn’t have the “squad” elected and running roughshod on the Democratic Party. Without him we would have 3 dozen idiots give or take running for the democratic nominee while exposing what every democrat truely is.... anti American idiots. Bernie is great and needs our support through the democratic primaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
