| Bernie Sanders |
The Washington Post's Matea Gold reports:
"For years, Bernie Sanders has traveled the country advocating for a $15 per hour minimum wage. His campaign organizers say they aren’t making that much, and they're using his words to protest for higher wages."Bernie is apparently, lol, justifying the below $15 per hour rate that he is paying by stating he is meeting market competition.
From the Post:
-RW
The Sanders campaign late Thursday issued a statement lauding its union contract. “We know our campaign offers wages and benefits competitive with other campaigns, as is shown by the latest fundraising reports,” Shakir said. “Every member of the campaign, from the candidate on down, joined this movement in order to defeat Donald Trump and transform America. Bernie Sanders is the most pro-worker and pro-labor candidate running for president. We have tremendous staff who are working hard. Bernie and I both strongly believe in the sanctity of the collective bargaining process and we will not deviate from our commitment to it.”
"Free market for me but not for thee..."
ReplyDeleteIt's almost like there's a double standard with the man who once said that "You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country," yet who owns three houses (hey, you don't "need" three houses when children are hungry in this country).
DeleteThat article made be laugh out loud! Thanks!
