Only because of the Grassroots movement powering bernie did ny ca get 15 an hour

It isn't a coincidence that NY and CA approved 15 an hour and paid maternity leave this year. The politicians in NY and CA saw the writing in wall, it was time to do something for the populace before the pitchforks came out.

Isn't it disgusting that NY and CA two of the richest places on earth just decided in 2016 to offer paid maternity leave?

It's a disgusting disgrace that it took so long to accomplish this.

And the grassroots for it began long before that. Sanders had NOTHING to do with it.

Bernie Sanders: the political Rosie Ruiz.

He is a corporate Shell through and through. The mayor asked for a minimum wage increase in the city Cuomo said no. I didn't say Bernie was responsible for the increase, I said the Grassroots behind him was, and that is true.
