It isn't nearly as easy as Bernie will try to tell ya. If you are talking about paid sick days and paid family leave, then you are living in a bubble and so is Bernie. Many jobs can never have such protections, especially the construction industry.

so I doubt he has any illusions about a quick result. But he IS doing
something very important to give it wheels...he's engaging and inspiring
the people to work with him for these things. No one else has even asked
for that kind of involvement or cooperative effort before. Bernie doesn't advertise
that he has all the answers. He sees the value and talent
and leadership available in that infinite resource called THE PEOPLE.
