That's $12 more an hour than what Ted Cruz pays his interns, and your title is misleading. You need to change the word "employees" to "interns."
If they draw a salary they are employees.
Some interns get paid, doofus.
Here's the real title to the article in the idiots OP.
Bernie “living wage” Sanders pays his interns only $12 an hour
If they get a salary, they are paying federal withholding and the whole nine yards. That's an employee. I don't know why he has to pay them when others apparently don't, you'd have to ask around.
You are an idiot. You really should do a little research before posting.
An
internship is a job training for
white-collar and professional careers.
Internships for professional careers are similar in some ways to
apprenticeships for trade and vocational jobs, but the lack of standardisation and oversight leaves the term open to broad interpretation. Interns may be college or university students, high school students, or post-graduate adults.
These positions may be paid or unpaid and are usually temporary.
only 37% of unpaid interns have job offers awaiting them at graduation compared to 60% of paid interns and 36% of students with no internship experience
