So it appears Bernie Sanders only believes in paying employees a ‘living wage’ when someone else is paying it.
Typical socialist.
This is my favorite story of the day.
Bernie Sanders' campaign staff has unionized and is demanding a $15 per hour "living wage" and 100%-paid health care for those earning under $60k. The campaign leadership has thus far resisted. https://t.co/mui0DLefis

From The Washingon Post:
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.”
“As union members, the Bernie 2020 campaign staff have access to myriad protections and benefits secured by their one-of-a-kind union contract, including many internal avenues to democratically address any number of ongoing workplace issues, including changes to pay, benefits, and other working conditions,” the statement said.
“We look forward to continuing to work closely with our members and the management of the Bernie 2020 campaign to ensure all workers have dignity and respect in the workplace.”
HA HA HA HA HA
This reminds of me back when the activist group ACORN hired a bunch of field staffers to lobby for a higher minimum wage — and then was sued for not even paying these workers the *current* minimum wage. https://t.co/fSxFC3YsUI

It is really good.
I laughed. I cried. It was better than the Cats trailer.

Ok, so this editor wasn’t bothered at all by the CATS trailer but that’s another story.

Doesn’t seem all that out of character for a socialist with three houses and a fancy sportscar.
Just sayin’.
