HorusRa2 5,005 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Misleading. The original agreement was based on a 40 hour agreement. Campaigns (even election workers) tend to work longer hours (special election as an example may mean 10+ hour work days). There is a negotiation being made & that is the purpose of the union. Next, there are plenty of salaried people working 50-60 hour workweeks myself included & nobody is calling out employers that function that way now are they? This is is just another smear attempt by the media trying to make a normal situation sound dramatic in order to attack Bernie. I’ve worked for a county where the government and the sheriff union fought all year before a collective bargaining agreement was signed (was signed in December and deputies were given retropay all the way back to January of the same year). it also makes one wonder if the information that leaked to the Wa Po was not somebody working on the Sanders campaign who doesnt really support Sanders was playing the role of the mole.

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The same people that cry foul at Amazon working conditions will defend Bernie over working his employees. Turning $17 an hour job into an $8 or $9 dollar an hour job. I wonder how many miles a day these people walk at work.

Bernie is not necessarily privy to everything Tad may have done. What is important is that he is not involved in the current campaign now that what you’re referring to has come to light.

You’re pointing to one specific instance but he also has a deep history on working on many democratic candidates campaigns in years past. So I really don’t see your point. What is important however is that Pete’s policy director is a former executive of Goldman Sachs, that his campaign takes big donor money and continues to push platitudes and language that gives him plenty of room to backtrack and do literally nothing to benefit the working class of this country.

A—her gender or ethnicity is not a basis for my comments so I don’t understand your emphasis unless it is to suggest I am somehow being either racist or being misogynistic. B. Not throwing stones. Just pointing out that since you came in to prop up mayor Pete, that he ain’t got nothing to write home about either. C. That was a poor response from Bernie and he subsequently took further action. Also, sexual harassment is not unusual or exclusive to the Sanders campaign. Let’s ask Kamala about her own issues in that regard. What else do you got?
