Bernie Sanders campaign responds to staffers’ demand for $15 minimum wage by … cutting back hours

Re: Bernie Sanders campaign responds to staffers’ demand for $15 minimum wage by … cutting back

So silly. Why doesn't he just pay them more?
 
Re: Bernie Sanders campaign responds to staffers’ demand for $15 minimum wage by … cutting back

According to even CNN staffers are “required” to work 10-hour workdays, 6 days per week, resulting in far less than the $15 per hour standard Sanders is advocating that everyone else should be paying their employees.

Typical far left hyper partisan hypocrite, and another reason that Democrats are learning absolutely nothing. Sanders is still in the top 3 or 4 in polls for Democratic candidates for the nod.

Pathetic Sanders... horribly pathetic.

Socialism is great, unless you're the one having to foot the bill.

These are not hourly employees, they are salaried. They have their health insurance covered. As they are salaried, reducing their hours does not effect their income in any way, nor does it result in less jobs (arguably it could result in more). These employees are unionized workers.

Did you all actually read the article?

Also this:

In a statement to CNN, Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir said that the campaign offered the field staff a boost in pay that would guarantee a $15 an hour salary commensurate with a 60-hour work week. That proposal, according to Shakir, was rejected by the membership.

"As strong supporters of organized labor, this formal process is the sole process for making changes to the collective bargaining agreement. It would be anti-union, and likely illegal, for the campaign to negotiate outside this process," Shakir said. "We look forward to continuing those discussions and obviously are disappointed that some individuals decided to damage the integrity of these efforts before they were concluded."

I'm not a big Bernie Sanders fan (for reasons likely different than others in this thread), but the insinuations being made in this thread are completely divorced from the reality of the situation.
