I do not know. But according to both Sanders and Elizabeth Warren their campaign workers are part of a recognized union. Warren brags that her campaign was first to unionize.
The agreement has provisions ensuring that the campaign will pay the entire health insurance premiums of any worker paid under $36,000, according to Jonathan Williams, communications director at UFCW Local 400. There's also a pay limit for top campaign officials — no one in campaign management can make more than three times the highest-paid worker in the bargaining unit. (However, outside consultants wouldn't fall under this provision, Williams said.)
I believe the story mentions that there is a Campaign Workers group that is not a union, itself ... but has helped workers in 25 campaigns join unions.
"Bernie Sanders cut campaign workers hours so he can pay them the $15.00 wage. He claims he supports $15."
What in the blue blazes are you talking about? You were just ragging that Bernie didn't pay minimum wage and now you are. Do you know what you are talking?At all? LOL

....it helps no one. This is the story in real life too. Businesses have an amount to spend on labor and if government raises the hourly wage, the number of employees or number of hours will decrease. This is just too much common sense for many of our brothers and sisters.
