Felt.
Ms. Davis, the former state director, said that she was originally paid about $2,400 a month as a senior staff member and saw in the campaigns records that a younger man who was originally supposed to report to her made $5,000 a month. She said that she brought the issue to the campaigns chief operating officer, who adjusted her salary to achieve parity.
I helped at least a dozen women request raises so that they would be paid on par with their male peers, Ms. Davis said.
The senators campaign committee acknowledged that there were pay disparities but said salaries were based on experience or the nature of the job and never determined based on any consideration of an individuals gender or of any other personal characteristic.
During the campaign, the committee said, it conducted a review to try to standardize pay across the states and within headquarters.

It's from the twitter responses; that's why the OP said "it's not from Bernie"

I didn't say Bernie was responsible. I even said they do NOT get their info from Bernie.
