A huge shout out to the courageous Amazon & Whole Foods workers who’ve put their jobs and names on the line to fight for a respectable minimum wage. $15 is a start!
And thank you to the @fightfor15 for never letting up.
Let’s keep on pushing.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/business/amazon-minimum-wage.html …

you're *really* only going to thank Bernie first and foremost for this when thousands of workers have been risking their livelihoods to walk off the job for $15/hr for years?
-
same to you
@saragoldrickrab for RTing -
He didn’t say “first and foremost” or “only.” He notes a “single leader.” if you want the support of politicians you gotta do what Shaun’s doing. I know you understand how this works. No one is served by failing to praise and sustain their support.

Have you heard Bernie speak about this Jose? All he does is emphasize the workers and their courage. I have done the same thing. This was a tweet thanking him for using his political capital on this when so few other elected officials were willing to do so.
-
I don't deny that! But in the story of how this gets told, the struggles of working people who've stood to lose the most by speaking out are the most likely to get left behind, here. I don't think it's unreasonable to keep that in mind and lift them up, too
-
I can appreciate that bro. For real. Thanks for lifting them up.

We don’t. But remember, Bernie brought this nationally. It wouldn’t have as much attention if no politician chose to stand up.

We need to make sure
@SenSanders gets the credit for this awesome decision before #45 takes full credit! -
Oh I really want to see him try! Those who will benefit from this hike KNOW it was Bernie who fought WITH them, fought BESIDE them and fought FOR them! And no tangerine hued pretender is going to change that!

We all know that Trump will take credit for this and say that it is a direct result of the tax cut.

Nah. Seattle area has enacted legislation and the local electorate have pushed for this the most. Congrats to us and them.

Amazon raised their wages for all their employees. NY also raised the minimum wage to $15. Bernie exposed them to the nation more than local advocatespic.twitter.com/zkOguRvaa3
