Bernie Sanders Campaign Hit With Unfair Labor Practice Complaint

Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign has been hit with an unfair labor practice complaint, the National Labor Relations Board made public late Monday night. The complaint was filed on July 19 by an individual in Indiana who claims that the Sanders campaign took part in illegal employee interrogation and retaliation against staffers.

According to Bloomberg Law, “A copy of the charge has not yet been made public, but the agency’s July 22 docket lists five potential violations of the National Labor Relations Act.” . . .

The complaint is just more embarrassing news for the self-identified democratic socialist. Over the weekend, as reported by The Daily Wire, Sanders had to cut staffers’ hours to accommodate his routinely-advocated $15 minimum wage. . .

Sanders additionally blasted leaks to the media before his Iowa trip: “We are disappointed that some individuals have decided to damage the integrity of these efforts. We are involved in negotiations. And some are individuals that have decided to damage the integrity of that process before they were concluded,” he said. . .

As noted by Bloomberg Law, it’s unclear if the National Labor Relations Board will find any merit to the complaint, since “any person” is allow to file, per the board’s site. “The charge filing will initiate a preliminary investigation by the labor board’s Indianapolis office to determine if there is merit to the allegations,” the outlet reported. “The board’s lawyers will then decide whether to move the case forward or dismisses it.” (Read more from “Bernie Sanders Campaign Hit With Unfair Labor Practice Complaint” HERE)
