Bernie Sanders’s 2020 campaign workers ratified their first collective bargaining agreement.
The development, announced by the workers Wednesday, comes roughly two months after they made history by becoming the first presidential campaign staffers to unionize.
The contract, says UFCW Local 400, does a number of things.
It provides:
- field workers with paid healthcare premiums;
- interns a $20/hour rate and medical benefits;
- overtime pay for hourly employees;
- coverage for mental healthcare services;
- a pay cap on management pay;
- pay transparency;
- a pay equity review process; and
- and anti-discrimination provisions.
Such protections are especially important given the nature of campaign work, said Local 400 president Mark P. Federici.
