This is just one thing Bernie plans to do:

Bernie Sanders unveils bill proposing major pro-union labor reform

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has proposed legislation that would make it easier for workers to join unions and collectively bargain for higher wages and better benefits.

The independent Vermont Senator said that if an employee currently tries to organize a union, they have a one in five chance of being fired. Titled the Workplace Democracy Act, the bill was announced on Capitol Hill on Tuesday and has the backing of eight Democratic senator co-sponsors. US Representative Mark Pocan (D-Wisconsin) has introduced the House version.

“Millions of Americans who want to join unions are unable to do so because of the coercive and often illegal behavior of their employers,” Sanders said, according to a press release. “The benefits of joining a union are clear: higher wages, better benefits and a more secure retirement. If we are serious about reducing income and wealth inequality and rebuilding the middle class, we have got to substantially increase the number of union jobs in this country.”

The Workplace Democracy Act would make it easier for workers to form unions if a majority of them sign valid authorization cards and the National Labor Relations Board verifies the majority. Once the union has been certified, an employer would be tasked with negotiating a first contract. If there are delays, negotiations would move to mediation and then on to arbitration.

2. Here ya go, good stuff. Probably could have been even better if you didnt mention

Hillary and just made it a 100% positive endorsement/comment.

But, it is true there is a huge difference between these two on this issue, I am afraid.

Go Bernie!

Economic and Diplomatic Pressure: To temper Russian aggression, we must freeze Russian government assets all over the world, and encourage international corporations with huge investments in Russia to divest from that nation’s increasingly hostile political aims.

Work with the International Community: The United States must collaborate to create a unified stance with our international allies in order to effectively address Russian aggression.
