Kudos to the campaign for being so open to ensure their lowest level staffers are heard and compensated fairly.
I'd really like to know if this was achieved by cutting back on the campaign worker's hours, as this is a central argument against the $15 minimum wage. I will concede the benefits package, if it is as stated, is generous.
I do feel compelled to ask again though, since when was a minimum wage job supposed to be one a person could go out and live on their own by working? I had a roommate until I was in my later 20's. Of course I didn't stay at my minimum wage job ($4.25 an hour, where were you then Bernie you f@$ker?!). I used my first job to establish an employment history then I got a better job, then a better job and then the job (employer) I have now. An entirely unique set of circumstances indeed.
