This is a blunder for Bernie.
Everyone that runs a business knows that in the real world you can't give your $10 an hour employees a $15 pay raise then cut their hours.
Is disingenuous and it's sad that you're trying to defend it.

Again, read the article.
Bernie and his staff offered them TWO choices. They could reduce their hours to a max of 43 hr week or they could be giving a raise that would have worked out to $15/hr for 60hr week but since it is a salary they would be required to work those 60 hours. They took the fewer hours.
Also, their original contract paid them $17/hr for a 40 hr week and they ended up working more. They were never intended to work that number of hours which is part of why they were angry.
This is a good thing for the people that work for Bernie but your hatred of anything non-Trump won't allow you to see that.
