Bernie Sanders to cut hours to pay staffers $15 minimum wage

SlugSlinger · Jul 21, 2019

And this is exactly how the minimum wage works.

Bernie Sanders campaign announces it will cut hours to pay staffers $15 minimum wage

Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced this weekend he will cut staffers' hours so that they can effectively be paid a $15-an-hour minimum wage, prompting mockery from critics who say the move is more evidence that Sanders' plan to raise the national minimum wage is hypocritical and would only lead to less work and more unemployment.

Cuts them to 42 to 43 hours a week and then the arm twisting starts to "donate more time" to the cause and "prove your dedication". End result, they be working the same 60-80 plus hours a week they've been working but only get paid for 40.

Clown shoes.

Close. He closely resembles a character by the name of Carl on an adult cartoon, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" Sound just like him, too.

Clown shoes for the staffers that buy into it too.

I worked with a guy in seminary and one day he asked the boss for a raise. My boss responded " why don't you try working 40hrs a week?" This still makes me laugh.

If I remember right, Bernie has been bragging his staff is the only one with a union contract.

And this is what happens when the minimum wage is raised. Hours and jobs get cut to keep the costs down. I'm old enough to remember when Wal-Mart used to have a lot more cashiers open, to the point there were more open lanes than closed. Every minimum wage hike saw fewer and fewer cashiers. And thats just to name one company.
