Unionized campaign organizers working for Sen. Bernie Sanderss presidential effort are battling with its management, arguing that the compensation and treatment they are receiving does not meet the standards Sanders espouses in his rhetoric, according to internal communications.
Campaign field hires have demanded an annual salary they say would be equivalent to a $15-an-hour wage, which Sanders for years has said should be the federal minimum. The organizers and other employees supporting them have invoked the senators words and principles in making their case to campaign manager Faiz Shakir, the documents reviewed by The Washington Post show.

His campaign workers are mistaken, Comrade Sanders is very clear about everyone else footing the bill for his bribes & schemes.

I think I have the correct spelling of IRONY. I need to know for sure before I fire off my email to the Bernie campaign.

...The union and the Sanders campaign reached a collective bargaining agreement that went into effect on May 2 and expires on March 31, 2021. The agreement established wage classifications for national and state staff, ranging from $15 an hour for interns and canvassers to $100,000 annual salaries for bargaining unit deputies. Field organizers, who are on the front lines of the campaigns crucial voter contact efforts, were to be paid not by hours worked but via an annual salary set at $36,000. Regional field directors were to be paid $48,000 annually, and statewide department directors were allocated $90,000 per year.
Wait ... isn't that income inequality?

LETS BRING BACK THE 5 CENT CANDY BAR
When politicians particularly members of todays in name only democrat party started pushing for a higher minimum wage. The focus should have been on purchasing power of the lowest coin of the realm. Each time it was passed the price of an item like an individual candy bar and everything else increased. What began at 5 cents in the 1940s steadily increased to what it is today. The result has always been since it began devaluing the purchasing power of the dollar.
