Hot on the heels of being exposed for paying campaign workers very substandard wages, Bernie Sanders has announced that he is cutting staff hours, thereby effectively increasing their pay to $15.00 an hour. There has been no mention as to how the necessary work is going to get done, so one can only assume they are now expected to produce 8-9 hours worth of labor in four hours a day in order to get the $15.00 wage.
In the meanwhile, of course, he continues to promise that after he wins the presidency, he'll raise the national minimum wage to $15.00.
What he fails to recognize is the end result of his pompous promises. Take me, for instance: If I didn't have a computer, I'd have to pay at least two full-time employees wages and benefits and I'd be out of business. So, I have a computer instead. Expect more automation and elimination of jobs, thereby raising unemployment... if Bernie wins the presidency.
