Sen. Bernie Sanders' staff unionizes in presidential campaign first
In a statement on Friday, the campaign said it had recognized its staffers' decision to unionize, making it the first major-party presidential campaign to employ a formally organized workforce.Sanders tweeted that he was"proud" of the historical marker and, taking a page from his stump speech, tied the development to his own pro-union message."We cannot just support unions with words, we must back it up with actions," Sanders said.
On the campaign trail, Sanders has repeatedly vowed in speeches -- as he did in 2016 -- to make it easier for workers to unionize, often tying it to his push for a rise in the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. This time around, following reports of sexual harassment and pay disparities on Sanders' last presidential campaign, there will also be added pressure to fortify safeguards against similar mistreatment.
