$15.00 min wage made it on the platform

[fun n serious]

They voted down " redundant wording" not the $15.00 min

1. Any evidence of this?

I will be happy to see it.

2. So why all the threads saying they didn't have it in there?

[fun n serious]

5. People trying to continue the trouble...

I don't know. "redundant wording" is what was voted down.

6. Thanks. It confused me why this would have even been that controversial of an issue for the

Democratic platform

There are things that can be discussed on this, but not having it in the platform really didn't make sense

[fun n serious]

7. I don't know why they do not want people to know..

Bernie supporters keep saying it's not there and edited the video of the wording. WHY?

8. anyway thanks

16. Because our nominee does not / did not support it.

She wanted to start negotiations at $12.00 an hour.

Exactly where she is on this as of today, I have no idea.

3. I hope that info gets spread.

Platform discussions always inspire trust issues in a lot of people.

4. Read Karen Finney's Twitter. I seriously doubt she would lie...

From expanding social security, Wall Street, $15 min wage, the death penalty, EITC and more ...

9. Yes, that's my understanding. Positive platform so far, but alas,

misinformation was flowing today here. Sorta like Brexit where many voters who voted to leave in GB.

11. Correct, California in stages until 2021

Although congress should do their job. They are suppose to work for the "people", which in GOP land they do not.

12. A tweet? That's your source? Nonsense.

The platform committee voted $15 min wage down 8 to 5; there's a video of it FFS. But they yielded and put it in as in it wasn't in there already contrary to that tweet. Best gird your loins because Bernie is fighting for plenty more.

13. $15 is there... MSM is reporting it too.. There are other links here on DU.

14. It's there now, a concession to Bernie's team.

The DNC nixed Bernie's Labor advovate appointment to the platform committee. They voted down $15 min wage. It was not in the platform until they yielded to Bernie's team and adopted it. Stop trying to muddy the waters to cover up what happened.

15. I guess we have 2 stories and we can each choose

who to believe.. Have a good day.

17. Good post. To underline: $15 MW is IN!
