Sanders rolls out Workplace Democracy Act

......

“Our job is to make it easier for workers to join unions, not harder,” Sanders said at the Capitol.

“If workers in this country want to exercise their constitutional right to join a union, they must be allowed to do that,” he added.
.....

“We will no longer tolerate CEOs who fire workers for exercising their constitutional right to form a union,” Sanders said. “We will no longer tolerate CEOs who threaten to move their plants to China or other low-wage countries, if workers vote in favor of a union. We will no longer tolerate CEOs and managers who intimidate or threaten pro-union workers.”

Like I have said before.

Now is the time for a real progressive populist movement, but the message needs to be clear and not overly complex and it needs to be repeated over and over to drive it home into the minds of the people.

Then Bernie will win.
