Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bernie Samders doesn't pay his organizers the min wage of $15.00. HYPOCRITE !!! [View all]...Bernie's trying to form a 'Team Bernie Organizing Fellowship'?
...I'm not sure if this applies,
The Daily Beast, 7-12-2019
" Unpaid interns are practically non-existent among Democratic presidential campaigns in 2019. But some top-tier candidates appear to be finding a creative way to tap unpaid talent: offering vague fellowship opportunities as volunteer positions. "
..
Volunteers are asked to do something, workers are told, Renée Hagerty, an executive council member for the Campaign Workers Guild, said. Everyone whos performing work on a campaign should be paid.
For Bidens campaign, the Team Joe Organizing Fellowship consists of an eight-week program that includes weekly online trainings in grassroots and digital organizing, according to the listing, which closed this week. Unlike the internship program, which is paid $15 per hour, the fellowship program makes no mention of wages, academic credit, or time commitments.
