Sanders Campaign Engulfed In Messy Fight With Unionized Staff

[Common]

Bernie the communist/socialist retard, encouraged his staff to organize and form a union, then he campaigned on how wonderful he was to do it. Now hes fighting with them over them demanding 15.00 an hour. The minimum wage HE PROPOSES. You cannot make this liberal crap up


Sen. Bernie Sanders is one of the many faces that make up the progressive left within the Democratic Party. He’s an unapologetic democratic socialist. He has an economic agenda that would cost us trillions of dollars. And he’s staunchly pro-labor union.


That is until his campaign staff starts making demands for better pay, right? Yeah, it seems so. The Sanders campaign has unionized and is demanding $15/hour for staff nationwide and so far the left-wing candidate’s leadership is silent on the matter.


You just can’t make this up. The far left guy unionizes the staff, makes minimum wage hikes part of the campaign platform, and then decides to slow walk paying his own staff the wage he wants to enact nationwide for workers as president. Excuse me while I grab some popcorn

That's how the collective bargaining process works. The union comes in and asks for the moon and the company offers them an empty bag; it's from that point they begin negotiations for wages and terms and conditions of employment. If Bernie had simply caved in and said yes, he'd be criticized by his opponents for being weak.

Except in this case they aren't asking for the moon. They are asking him to live up to his position on the $15.00 hr minimum wage.

If they are being paid minimum wage, that's a considerable increase in pay percentage wise.

So, you're defending Bernie on his hypocrisy?

No, I'm stating simple math. Do you disagree with the math?

Will you admit that this demonstrates a blatant hypocrisy on Sander’ side?

Maybe Bernie now understands how ridiculous a $15/hour minimum wage is. If only he'd tell his useful idiot base about it.

I have no problem with minimum wage laws in principle but a federal minimum wage seems like reckless pandering. It kinda sorta makes sense in NY but Kentucky?
