OIC its da unions fault for existing!
Alternative headline: Multi-millionaire with multiple mansions refusing to pay his workers a living wage: The Bernie Sanders story
the commies over at Reason make this reasonable point:
https://reason.com/2019/07/19/bernie...ge-would-mean/Some background: Sanders' operation announced in March that it would be the first presidential campaign in American history to have all low-level employees represented by a union. The contract that the union signed with the campaign promises $36,000 in salary (and full health care benefits) for the lowest-level field workers. The workers now say they are earning less than $15 an hour when you calculate how much they make while toiling for 60 hours or more each week to help get Sanders elected. But they agreed to be paid a set salary rather than an hourly rate, so the criticism should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. Maybe joining the union didn't quite go the way they planned.
AaronY quick to mislead if it means scoring cheap points on Bernie.
I misled that the workers were upset about their pay. Thats what I did.
Also, you immediately run in to semen shield for dear Bernie proving my bias. Nice.
nothing to see here folks! non-issue!
lmao
quick update
i think thats supposed to be "stans" not stand aka hardcore fans
They want to renegotiate their deal.
Makes sense they're upset and they have every right to ask for a better deal: that's what unions are for, right?
Which other candidates' staff have union representation?
yea theyre upset with the sub $15 an hour deal they got from mister. #fightfor15 and its no big deal he pays them less than $15 of course because....reasons, etc.
once again this all makes Bernie look good somehow I'm just too biased to see it
yeah, well they shouldn't have signed up for salary pay if they wanted a guaranteed hourly rate.
lol calling the offer to cut hours to 40/week to get to a $15/hr equivalent "Bernie attacking his workers"
confused here..also they dont get overtime for going over 40 hours? So Bernie is against overtime as well? sounds like another non-issue just popped up
Its a shame Bernie's 2020 campaign is already looking like its over before it started because would love to deal with these non-issues for the next 8 months or so
more wishcasting from the worker's friend, AaronY.
Bernie its still a re for going the union route and creating this monster.
He gets what he deserves for poking the bear. He should've paid them their 15/hr from the get go and stop this nonsense from becoming a problem.
The kicker is that while he fights his own union from getting their due, other candidates such as Booker, Gillibrand() are already paying their people their 15 bucks.
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.Bernie its still a re for going the union route and creating this monster.

In the end it's wasted anyhow, he doesn't have a chance in . He was cucked by a woman who couldn't beat an orange reality TV guy who was recorded saying "grab them by the pussy".
Brutally attacked by Bernie again:
https://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sand...n-deal-1450756
His workers are "working overtime" to effectively get the same wage; and they're still crying.
Why isn't he getting volunteers instead of having to pay workers in the first place? I thought he was a grass roots candidate?
And all it took was for his horrible practices to come to light and for him to be exposed as a fraud. yay!
Basic math like this requires a modi of brainpower Derp..maybe best for you to sit this one out
Lashing out.
Gonna knock him too now that he does what he preaches?
Lmao he was found not doing it and shamed into doing it.
Spin mode is adorable
