Sanders, who is making his second straight bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, vowed that war will come to an end when I am president. If we are serious about rebuilding the middle class in America, we have got to rebuild, strengthen and expand the trade union movement in America.
Sanders said if elected, he would aim to double union membership by the end of his first term in the White House in January 2025. His plan also calls for ending so-called "right to work" laws favored by Republicans and decried by organized labor for weakening a unions ability to negotiate contracts.
Twenty-seven states currently have such laws, which prevent unions from insisting workers become union members as a work requirement.
Sanders proposal would also give every union worker the right to strike and ban the replacement of striking workers. And the progressive senator also pledged to sign an executive order to prevent large corporations from engaging in union-busting and outsourcing jobs, while preventing companies that pay workers less than $15 per hour from obtaining federal contracts.

“And like most socialists, Bernie believes that in spite of failures across the globe somehow his superior intellect will produce a different result.”
Very true!
SANDERS SEES HIMSELF AS A DICTATOR!!!
Those right to work laws are a result of a vote of the people in those states.
Now Sanders is just going to toss them out the door, all by himself.
Isn’t it great when the COMMUNIST WANNABE DICTATORS expose themselves so clearly.
What a hypocrite! He fired staff for trying to unionize!
Boy he is so smart, he should take these plans of his to Maduro in Venezuela to fix their problems.
So not a fan of what unions have become.
...and just sign the deed to the country over to China.
He earned another tweet from me:
Ironic that you think people have a right to a fair wage, right to FRee healthcare, right to FRee college, right to FRee this and that, but shouldnt have a right to work unless some union boss decides they can work....can you see the problem here?
Don't worry... that won't stop Bernie.
He'll next be calling for the dissolution of the Supreme Court.
Bernie thinks he can overcome toxic incentives with wishful thinking...
