This is my own writing.
Bernie Sanders has repeatedly said that he wants the minimum wage to be raised to $15 an hour.
However, he pays some of his own employees less than that.
And he said it’s “not acceptable” that some of his employees have complained about this.
These are Sanders’s exact words:
“It does bother me that people are going outside of the process and going to the media. That is really not acceptable. It is really not what labor negotiations are about, and it’s improper.”
This makes Sanders a hypocrite in two ways.
First of all, he doesn’t pay his own workers the $15 minimum wage that he wants all other employers to pay.
And secondly, he’s against his own employees complaining about their pay, even though he has always supported free speech for everyone else’s employees who complain about their pay.
