That was $15 more than your missus made for the same amount of work.

"Priceless" can be another way of saying "worthless".

Good point. More like "priceless."

Just a thought,
Are Bernie supporters worth $15/hr ??

Just reporting the facts.

Do they always confuse you?

Bernie isn't.

Your thread is unraveling.

I'm sure they could cut employees hours and pay them more.

That staffers are working for $15 an hour?

You got it! My pleasure! You think other employers will pay a living wage now?

Swc this is from your link.

For a staffer working 40 hours a week, that comes out to about $17 an hour. But 40-hour workweeks on presidential campaigns are rare. Sanders said the campaign will limit the number of hours staffers work to 42 or 43 each week to ensure they're making the equivalent of $15 an hour.

Thanks for backing up the thread though.

Little man I was referring to the Burn wanting others to pay $15 an hour, but its ok for him not to.


Milly, your original comment did not mention Bernie, it was a generalized comment that covered every employer paying employees.

In your future comments, please check for clarity and composition, we English majors will thank you and it will clear up any confusion and misunderstanding for every one; oh wait, you a tRumper, you thrive on confusion and misunderstanding.

That should stick a fork in this thread.

But they still have the same tasks to perform. Just less time to complete them.

The staffers are asking for a raise because they are living on poverty wages. Instead of a raise they had their hours reduced to make them average $15 an hour. So no raise, just reduced hours. Same thing opponents of the fight for $15 have been saying would happen.

That makes no sense at all; anyone who receives payment for work done is paid with someone elses money.

It's different when it's other people's money.

Go back and read the article, these staffers are salaried, not hourly, makes a world of difference.
