Bernie Sanders Staff Complain of ‘Poverty Wages,’ Demand $15/Hour

Agreed-and medicare for all is case in point.

 

That sums up Socialism.

So does this:

#FIGHTFOR15: Bernie Sanders Is Finally Guaranteeing His Workers $15/Hr Minimum Wage…By Cutting Hours.

Buried lede: socialist discovers how economics works. Or as Karol Markowicz tweets, “Bernie raising his staff’s pay but cutting their hours sums up life under socialism much better than I ever could.”

 

What the week the primaries start his staff goes on strike?

 

In a socialist government the people living under socialism are not the government officials.

 

I guess you thought wrong. I hear he is going to up it to $15 BUT he is drastically cutting their hours. Just as everyone has said, jobs or job hours will be lost. Thanks, Bernie, for showing us how bad socialism REALLY is... That guy may as well drop out NOW...

 

Where the rubber meets the road Bernie is a capitalist.

 

That's right. The officials all talk a good game and take a big fat hunk for themselves. We have it right, individual freedom and liberty: the government officials, of our choosing, hold their offices to serve US.

 

"The officials all talk a good game and take a big fat hunk for themselves"

^Perfect description of Trump's Cronyism (and enriching himself at Taxpayer Expense).

Thanks for pointing that out.

 

He's a typical crony Socialist. These guys want to roll back Liberal Democracy and restore the Lords and Ladies ruling over the Serfs that was the plight of humans for most of human history. They have a number of ways of getting their; Socialism (Whether International or National) or Monarchy, you still have a small number ruling over a much larger number. That is fundamentally unjust, that is why in our system, Sovereignty resides in We The People, with those that we put into office restricted to only handling the things listed in the Constitution or Charter.

 

And people want to turn their lives over to them, TAKE CARE OF ME!!

 

Only a very loud minority, and what they really expect is to be part of the ruling elite.

 

SOMEBODY CALL 911: Iowahawk offers Bernie Sanders a suggestion in his quest to abolish the Electoral College.



Flashback: “What’s the word on Jane Sanders? ‘Bernie’s wife?’ he says. ‘She really put the screws to this place.’”

 

Sanders still has high marks amongst dems-which is good for Americans.

 

Sanders WON'T be the Nominee...

So, you can give this sort of stuff a rest...

Nothing personal, of course. Just some friendly advice...

 

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



“[W]e are limiting hours so no employee is receiving less than $15 for any hours worked.”

 

^

 

Its the ugly reality of socialism.

 

Less for each individual is somehow mistranslated to more for the collective whole. When everyone else has far less, too, you're in the in-crowd.

 

And as the NYP reports

"Bernie was peeved. He told the Des Moines Register, “It does bother me that people are going outside of the process and going to the media.” More: “That is really not acceptable. It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it’s improper.”

Oops: That caustic comment puts him on the verge of violating federal labor law by interfering with or retaliating against employees’ exercise of their rights."

And
"The union’s gripe centers on the fact that field organizers, the lowest-level workers, often put in 60 hours a week but get paid only for 40, since they’re on a flat salary. That drops their average minimum pay to less than $13 an hour.....

.The campaign’s immediate response, now that it’s all gone public, is to restrict the field workers from putting in more than 40 hours a week. Hmm: If it then brings on more unpaid volunteers to pick up the slack, that’s a different union grievance."

So what's he going to do if his workers go on strike or start staging "sick outs", you know get the Bern Flu.

 

It would be amusing if they did strike, and Bernie brings in pinkertons with clubs to allow his "volunteer" scabs from getting in.

 

I see that the great Bernie has solved his minimum wage problem. He now limits the hours his employees work in order to meet that $15 an hour mark. Brilliant. Should we call him an evil capitalist now? Is he now the rich guy that is stepping on the heads of his slave workers? Funny thing how income and expenses can rear its ugly head when you are full of phony bogus ideas. Poor Bernie, it took him decades to realize that if you have x amount of income and y amount of expenses you cannot just pretend that there is more money coming in. One of those rough life lessons that only a lifelong politician never learns. Sucking on the taxpayer teet is a great gig if you can get it. Right Bernie, I guess the poor chap is feeling the Burn of idiocy right about now.
