DEMS PUSH FOR $15 MINIMUM WAGE WHILE PAYING THEIR OWN STAFF WAY LESS

The Democratic Party is pushing for a federal $15 minimum wage as part of its recently revealed ‘Better Deal’ economic platform, despite paying its own field organizers significantly less than that during the 2016 election cycle.
The new platform, announced Monday at a press conference in Berryville, Va., aims to ingratiate the Democratic Party with blue collar voters through populist economic messaging focused on prioritizing the interests of workers over those of corporate interests.
However, the same party pushing the dubious $15 minimum wage chose not to implement the policy itself during the 2016 election.
A group of roughly 40 field workers filed a class action lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and six state party organizations in May, alleging that they were not fairly compensated for their work during the 2016 campaign. The field organizers claim to have been paid $3,000 per month while consistently working 80 to 90 hours per week.
Justin Swidler, the attorney representing the workers, described their treatment as ‘obscene.’
