Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced this weekend he will cut staffers' hours so that they can effectively be paid a $15-an-hour minimum wage, prompting mockery from critics who say the move is more evidence that Sanders' plan to raise the national minimum wage is hypocritical and would only lead to less work and more unemployment.
The Washington Post first reported last Thursday that Sanders' field staffers were upset that Sanders championed a $15 minimum wage on the campaign trail, and made headlines for railing against major corporations who pay "starvation wages" -- even as his own employees made "poverty wages."
In response, Sanders told The Des Moines Register he was "very proud" to lead the first major presidential campaign with unionized workers, but also "bothered" that news of the internal strife had spilled into the media.

He is a real jerk when interviewed by citizens. Rebel tv has a recent one. Very aggressive towards women and complete liar... Elizabeth Warren has 3 MILLION twitter followers. Warren lied about her RACE to get ahead for 50 years and somehow it’s not racist?? Twilight zone.
ReplyDeleteHe should sell one of his 3 socialist million dollar homes to pay them $100 hr ????
ReplyDeleteOcean CIty doesn't pay their bus drivers $15/hr ao why should Bernie?
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the real business world, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteLiar, liar, pants on fire...
ReplyDeleteIt will be really interesting to see what democrat is nominated to represent the party in the general election....right now they are eating their own, and ya know Trump is just loving every minute of it as they self destruct!
In other words a capitalist business strategy. So wonder when he will get it that his bullshit progressive ideas don't apply to business.
ReplyDeleteProof his socialistic ideas are to benefit him and the elitists.

ReplyDelete10:08 you missed the point. OC drivers may/may not be justified to seek/get a higher wage. But,
The article focused on Bernie's utter, complete and total hypocrisy is flying around the country pushing for $15/hr and demeaning other employers when his own campaign staff, who are unionized, get less than that.
3 mansion Bernie's solution: I'll cut your hours worked so that you make $15 for the hours you work, but your total pay will be the same. Net effect = Zero benefit to the worker, just more opportunities to require his acolytes to work off the clock.
In addition to the mansions, his wife drove the college she headed into the ground financially.
Nice feature about the campaign process is that Bernie can keep the balance once he drops out.
He is a HYPOCRITE like ALL DEMS.
