I agree. The only politician pushing an agenda that helps the working class.
How long before Trump claims this as a personal victory...
Oh gush... you’re so right....
They didn’t listen. They took away stocks and bonus pay which equaled way more than the raise. They took away money instead. You’re only getting one side of the actual arrangement.
It's a great start, but I'm skeptical.
It's a start, but only a start. What if an employee was already making $15/hr from seniority? Are they bumped up? I want to see across the board raises.
I was already making $15 hr now people are coming in making the same amount of money. His solution was to give us $1.05 pay raise.

Still unionize
Hourly employees are actually LOSING MONEY, as Amazon also TOOK AWAY stocks and monthly bonuses. This going in to their “peak season” when people would ordinarily make their biggest bonuses.
THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF @SenSanders!
