The office of Sen. Bernie Sanders has announced that Sen. Sanders (I-VT) will be addressing a rally of the striking workers in Washington, D.C. tomorrow.
Sen. Sanders has long been a champion of the living wage movement, and the movement itself is significant as the nation enters the holiday season. Over the years, more has been demanded from underpaid workers in the service sector while their wages have fallen behind. As Republicans continue to strive towards closing the doors of economic advancement to anyone who isnt already at the top, it is vital for movement such as the living wage strike for underpaid workers to be given a voice.
Costco and other companies have proven that a company can both turn a profit and pay its workers well. The Koch ideology of squeezing workers to increase profits at the top will kill any hope of rebuilding the middle-class.
Bernie Sanders gets it, which is why he is supporting the striking workers and their call for a living wage.
