Bernie is attacking his unionized workers now lmao

[ElNono]

Lmao he was found not doing it and shamed into doing it.

I'm actually not a fan of Bernie, but under that premise, he can't never win, lol

Well, Bernie himself said to judge him by the enemies he makes.


Now that includes his campaign workers apparently.

Nope, just pointing out the irony of the Village Idiot pretending to condescend to people about the English language.

2face bernie strikes again!

[spurraider21]

aarony doing that thing where he goes out of his way to make sure everybody realizes he's not a loony lefty!

[spurraider21]

so workers agreed to get paid 36,000 per year instead of going on an hourly basis. in a 40 hour work week, that would be over 15/hour

but as workers ended up working over 40 hours per week, their "hourly rate" dropped below 15. bernie offered to increase pay such that they would get 15/hour, union rejected it. bernie then offered to set an hour cap to make sure nobody earns less than 15. union rejected it

conclusion: BERNIE HATES $15/hour WAGES

[koriwhat]

so workers agreed to get paid 36,000 per year instead of going on an hourly basis.

bernie should've spoke up for them at that very moment. he didn't, he let them work 60 hrs a week instead on salary minimizing their hourly payout like the true pos socialist commie that he is.

he’s the Claire McCaskill of spurstalk

[Will Hunting]

Anyone who’s ever worked for a presidential campaign knows that you’re working well in excess of 40 hours a week. The fact he offered them a 40 hour cap is definitely a more generous deal than any other candidate is offering.

Wow, what an act I'm putting on! Sounds fun tbh

Federal labor complaints now lmao

God I hope this is something good

[Quadzilla99]

The problem comes not from the 36K salary nor the 15 per hour minimum wage. It comes from subs uting salaried/exempt employees in to save overtime wage payout. Companies Bernie rails against do this regularly, even if at a micro-level. Manager A has 3 exempt employees and 10 non-exempt employees. His exempt employees are capable of doing the work of the non-exempt, but their job duties list them as having professional or managerial exemptions. Manager A decides this is an "emergency" situation, a button he's going to press far too often according to the Department of Labor, and orders the hourly/non-exempt worker to stop working at 40 hours, and for the salaried/exempt worker to fill in "just for now". That becomes a margin of wage/work savings for Bernie and pretending the agreement of 36K doesn't take into account that it represents a 40 hour work week, is just having your cake and eating it too.

I wonder if they were scheduled to work over 40 hours knowing at some point they are almost working off the clock or if they volunteered to do the extra hours. If they complained sounds like the former
