Sanders campaign union accepts contract offer. Will make at least $17/hr + 100% med insurance [View all]

Contained within the video below. The union accepted the same offer that was brought forth by the campaign a couple months ago. Everyone gets a raise and most staffers will receive health insurance paid for 100% by the campaign.

For context, the staffers in Bernie's campaign were previously making what is considered standard wages and benefits for political campaigns. Now they will be the highest paid staffers of any campaign in the race. Will other campaigns follow?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
