Elizabeth Warren was asked how negotiations are going between her campaign and the union.

As Bernie Sanders grapples with his unionized workers, Elizabeth Warren says her union negotiations are 'going well'

"I think they're going well. And we'll land in place that's good for all of the workers," Warren told reporters Friday. "It's powerfully important."


She then pulls out the political "It speaks for itself" comment.

Warren declined to comment about the controversy surrounding U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign staff and their fight for a wage equal to $15 per hour — something he has campaigned on since Sanders ran for the 2016 Democratic nomination.

"I'm not here to knock another Democrat, all I can say is we're in the middle of our negotiations and I think they're going well," Warren said.

The $15/hr wage issue for Bernie's staff is low-hanging fruit and she could have taken it, but she had the sense, political savvy and decency not to. I wish Bernie and his staff had that attitude.
