(From the linked article in the OP)

“Hillary Clinton was the first candidate who came and met with workers and said she supported our movement,”

Sanders support for the Fight for $15 campaign goes back to at least 2014 (http://www.reuters.com/article/usa-restaurants-protests-idUSL1N0R42AH20140904) and he actually rallied with SEIU in DC.

(TRNS) — Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) joined several U.S. federal workers to support raising the minimum wage and maintaining union rights at a “Fight for $15 and a Union” rally on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., the nation’s largest strike ever powered by fast food workers in hundreds of cities.
