RT BernieSanders: Allow me to state the obvious: having 46 million people drowning in $1.8 trillion of student debt is not sustainable for working families, or for our country.

RT BernieSanders: Southwest Airlines is a company which spent $5.6 billion on stock buybacks for wealthy shareholders while the workers who keep the airline running work 16-18 hour days and passengers are stranded during the holiday season. Unacceptable.

RT BernieSanders: Corporate greed is Southwest getting a $7 billion bailout during the pandemic & spending $5.6 billion on stock buybacks to enrich wealthy shareholders, while stranded passengers are threatened with jail time for the crime of trying to rebook canceled flight…

RT BernieSanders: The Republicans are right. 60% of workers are living paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile, the federal minimum wage remains at $7.25 an hour – a starvation wage. Will Republicans work with us to raise the minimum wage to a living wage? Let’s… x.com/gop/status/16048281450…

RT BernieSanders: All across the country, academic workers are ruthlessly exploited by very wealthy universities. But now they are standing up and fighting back.

RT BernieSanders: I stand in strong solidarity with Starbucks workers on strike today. It is absurd that Howard Schultz — a guy worth BILLIONS of dollars — is pulling out all the stops to deny decent wages and dignity on the job to the very workers who h… x.com/sbworkersunited/status…

Starbucks workers are DOUBLING DOWN. Starting today, over 1,000 baristas are walking out on a THREE DAY STRIKE, making this the longest collective action of our campaign yet. #DoubleDownStrike

RT BernieSanders: Workers are courageously standing up to corporate greed. Congress must have their backs.

RT BernieSanders: The billionaire class? Doing phenomenally well. Huge corporations? Enjoying record profits. Working families? Falling further and further behind. Yes, it’s time Congress prioritized the needs of our people.

RT BernieSanders: The staff at The New York Times are fighting for a living wage and fair pay — something that is not so radical when the company just approved $150 million in stock buybacks for its investors.

RT BernieSanders: I want to congratulate @SBWorkersUnited on the one-year anniversary of the first unionized Starbucks shop in the country. Your courage continues to inspire us. To Starbucks ownership: treat your workers with respect and negotiate a fai…

RT BernieSanders: The American people desperately need high-quality journalism, and journalists and newspaper staff need a fair contract. I urge the ownership of the New York Times to bargain in good faith with @NYTimesGuild, and pay their workers what they deserve.
RT BernieSanders: Congratulations to @ReverendWarnock on his victory last night. Democrats in the U.S. Senate will now be in a position to pass important legislation addressing the needs of working families. Let's do it. x.com/ReverendWarnock/status…

Thank you, Georgia. We did it again.
RT BernieSanders: It is unacceptable that while Rutgers University has an endowment of nearly $2 BILLION dollars, their workers are struggling to get by. I stand in strong solidarity with @ruaaup and the Coalition of Rutgers Unions who are fighting for fair wages, healthcare…
RT BernieSanders: Where are all the great Constitutional Conservatives when a former president wants to terminate the Constitution in order to continue his Big Lie?

RT BernieSanders: The United States, sadly, is the only major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee paid sick days. Pathetic. In a modern civilized society, it should be a no-brainer that if you or your family gets sick, you should have paid sick leave. End of discussion.
