Bernie’s always been leading the way in fighting for unions, making the Dems less corporate funded and establishment, and making them a progressive party for the people again (back to the FDR days). Vote Bernie 2020! Btw happy Birthday Bernie! 🎉 🎂

Such a strong point, "only as radical as we've been in the past."

Unions In theory will be the salvation of workers. But there must be a strict auditing/oversight of union leadership to avoid corruption. There must be complete transparency in how the leadership of unions use dues, invest pension funds, etc. and there must be strict laws, that if a business is sold the benefits and pensions can’t be taken away. I believe that Bernie Sanders will do these things. I don’t belong to a union, but for the sake of American workers I am all in for #bernie2020

Bernie’s has been 100%, when it comes to his record fighting for workers rights!

Bernie walked for my strike UPTE 9119 and AFSCME 3299 against University of California. He’s going to be the only one I’ll vote for. If AFSCME endorses someone else I would probably leave my union. He showed up for me I’m damn sure I’ll show up for him

[lotta]

Nice with a guest who knows what he is talking about! 👏😄

[johansson]

Even if your not Pro-Union, What people forget is the "side effect"of unions on business, that business that "don't" want a labor unions, must offer benefits comperable or better to entice workers not to make or join one. So even if you are not part of a union, you get benefits (without the some of the worker union defined protections).

If Bernie is radical so are many old people.

[lordbeerus]

Bernie has always been leading like a leader
