Good Ole Bernie Sanders Gives The Middle Birdie to His Campaign Staff Demanding $15 hourly Pay (wage, economic)

[TMSRetired]

Bernie does pay his hourly workers $15/hour.

Here's a job description for an hourly worker.
Those campaign staffers are salaried workers, not hourly wage workers

Its so delicious to watch these leftist loons who have never run anything but their mouth try to comply with their own BS ideas !!!
Its like eating two large pizzas and not putting on a pound !!!

So Bernie's answer was to lower the hours people work but not pay them any more. LOL. What a colossal hypocrite. He wants to socialize everyone's hard earned money but his own. Bernie is a relic of a bygone Soviet era, and he's about as fossilized as his never-ending communist platitudes. Socialists never walk the walk.

He does pay the hourly workers $15/hour only these ones complaining aren't hourly workers.
They are salaried.

These staffers get an annual salary with benefits such as health/dental/vision insurance, sick time, vacation time.

The hourly workers only get their $15/per hour anywhere from 20-40 hours a week.

Liberalism- rules for thee, not for me.

Being a totalitarian movement in which elites enslave the masses. It is not surprising that the oligarchs are all libs,

Yeah, wouldn't want those hourly workers to get full time hours, now would we. Can't have them qualifying for benefits. Doesn't sound like income equality to me. Sounds like hypocrisy.

Minimum wage adjusted for inflation was $20 an hour in the 1960’s.

Republicans want to keep it at $7.25 an hour!

Vote low wages, vote Republican!

Really?


A SIMPLE search on the internet for "inflation adjusted minimum wage" reveals THIS:


In the year 1960, the United States minimum wage was $1.00.
This is equivalent to $8.55 in 2019 dollars.

Not if it’s tied to productivity.
