Indianapolis Press Conference | Bernie Sanders

Published on May 3, 2016
In what’s become an Election Day ritual, Bernie Sanders on Tuesday went to a local diner for breakfast. Over bacon and eggs at Pepe’s diner in Indianapolis, the senator was joined by Chuck Jones. He’s the president of the United Steelworkers Union local at a Carrier factory where heaters are made. The plant owner, United Technologies, wants to shut it down and move the 1,400 jobs to a factory in Monterey, Mexico, where workers earn only $3 an hour.

I sent it to my brother in Indiana, who is afraid of losing his job, plant may shut down. Of course, he's probably already voted for Trump today. I'm sure our mom is rolling in her grave.
