Good pay and fully-covered insurance... that’s the minimum of what every worker deserves. And the Sanders campaign is showcasing how organizing a union happens — warts and all. It’s getting a lot of coverage.

So many states have right to work laws that have practically eliminated unionized jobs. That has made the the concept of why a union is important something that’s foreign to a lot of Americans. The Sanders campaign is demonstrating a model union to people who would not otherwise be exposed to one.

This wasn’t by accident, and it’s really smart to get the point across about the power of organizing.

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