Topic: Campaign Workers

Former presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has transferred $18 million to the Democratic National Committee, the largest such transfer in history. Simultaneously, Bloomberg has faced criticism for firing hundreds of campaign workers he had previously promised to employ through the November election.

Campaign workers for Bernie Sanders, who are unionized, are reportedly demanding a $15 hourly wage, highlighting a conflict with the candidate's national policy platform. Staffers claim they are currently earning the equivalent of $13.50 per hour due to the long hours required by the campaign.
