      When you do, you might want to quote the bit where they say it wouldn’t have happened without Bernie Sanders.

      On Feb. 8, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, wrote a letter to the leaders of six Class I railroads, urging them to guarantee at least seven paid sick days for all of their workers.

      “Last year, the companies you lead made over $22 billion in profits,” Sanders wrote, noting that they had cut 30% of the workforce over the last six years. “Guaranteeing seven paid sick days to rail workers would cost your industry just $321 million.”

      Russo is grateful that Sanders stepped in. “We truly compliment his effort to bring dignity to workers in the rail industry,” he said. “Without it, we very likely would not have gotten what we have gained today.”

        Exactly Biden didn’t have jack shit to do with it. He was a puppet to the railroad companies and shown they it don’t give a damn about workers.

        Fucker shouldn’t be president should have been Bernie.
