    According to Snopes Bernie paid his interns $12 an hour. Many interns in many businesses get nada...nothing.
    He covers their health care 100%.
    Minimum wage does not apply to interns.

    Same with Truth or Fiction:

    And there's also this:

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cn...-with-campaign-union-for-15-minimum-wage.html

    After union negotiations, all campaign staffers now make $15 or more an hour. So Bernie allowed his staff to unionize, which is a novel thing in the campaign world anyways, and the union negotiated higher pay and better hours, doing exactly what unions are designed to do.
    And this despite Sanders already paying the highest wages out of all presidential campaigns
    He's such a horrible person

    to be fair, he kind of has to do that, for this exact reason.
     
  6. He doesn't have to let his staff unionize. He does it because he's the genuine article. He puts his money where his mouth is.

    $13.00 an hour just doesn't pass the smell test, Bernie needs to do better for his staff workers.

    Oooh! Okie being a big shot with sources. I got sources too. Let’s have a dick measuring contest :rolleyes:
    Yes, Immigration Hurts American Workers
    Bank of England research finally accepts immigration causes lower wages | The Economic Voice
    Immigration's Real Impact on Wages and Employment
    https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/13/mass-illegal-immigration-probably-costs-youve-told/


    What this cartoon is saying is that illegal immigrants are not a benefit to the lower or middle classes, but only help the rich. By providing cheaper labor so the rich won’t have pay higher wages or do the menial chores themselves. Thanks for proving my point

    So what happens in real life?

    In my community there are two men who own most rental properties apartment buildings, duplexes, homes etc. they are both millionaires.
    For several years I've watched from afar whenever remodeling or repairs of any kind are needed. It goes down like this, a crew of Mexican/other Hispanic people show up, none appear to speak a word of English but they do a great job and work quickly. As soon as they're done they disappear as quickly as they came.

    I can't help but believe every one of these people are being paid sub par wages in cash under the table.
