Take a look around you. 1 out of 4 people can't afford the cost of their prescriptions. All the while, billionaires have increased their wealth by more than $2 TRILLION since the start of the pandemic. Don't you think it's time we got our national priorities straight? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Ask yourselves. Why are Republicans so interested in making it harder and harder to vote in this country? Why are businesses so keen on making it as difficult as possible for workers to form a union? It's simple — it's all about taking power away from working people. No more. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The motivation of the pharmaceutical industry is greed — they squeeze the American people tighter and tighter to make themselves richer and richer — all while 1 out of 4 Americans can't afford the medicines their doctors prescribe. It's time to end their greed. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
How insane is it that in America today, for 1 out of 4 people in this country, this is the reality: You get sick. You go to the doctor. The doctor writes a prescription. You can't afford that medicine. And what happens? In many cases, they get even sicker. Unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

The workers who are working so very hard to organize, who are standing up and fighting for justice are an enormous inspiration to me, and a reminder that if we stand together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. Not me, us. https://t.co/ix78Q5yLsH — PolitiTweet.org

It is my view that if a worker wants to join a union, it is his or her constitutional right to be able to do so. https://t.co/UoppO0i2IL — PolitiTweet.org

"We would already have our union if the laws didn't have so many loopholes that allowed corporate to come in and dominate us, delay efforts, and harass us." - Michelle Eisen https://t.co/9FwGg3XlxZ — PolitiTweet.org

"Howard Schultz and every other member of the upper chain of command could have chosen to make it easier on our baristas, to make it livable, and to avoid the challenges that came with the pandemic, but they chose not to. They chose virtue signaling." - Gianna Reeve https://t.co/4Y2HtactxJ — PolitiTweet.org

"We are very confident that by the end of next week, we're going to have the first union Starbucks in the country. The public putting pressure on Starbucks to come to the table is what we need right now." - Lexi Rizzo https://t.co/ohfOLf6wLn — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
"A lot of people wonder why we want to have a union at a job that they see as 'unskilled labor.' Well I can tell you that we are not unskilled laborers. We do not just pour coffee. We invest a serious amount of emotional labor into our stores." - Lexi Rizzo https://t.co/2Rt8YUCey1 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
"I don't agree that if we're unhappy with the way Starbucks is, that we should just leave. When you love something, you fight to make it better, and that's what we're trying to do with our union campaign." - Lexi Rizzo https://t.co/PZtQmHqP5w — PolitiTweet.org

Is it an increasingly common occurrence to see people from Starbucks corporate in the stores? "Absolutely." Maya Panos details the lengths to which Starbucks corporate is going to pressure workers to vote against the union. https://t.co/gM3yV3GIV1 — PolitiTweet.org

"As they've been hiring a bunch of people to dilute our votes, our hours have been slowly getting cut down, week by week." - Maya Panos details the anti-union tactics being used in her store by Starbucks management https://t.co/RtfK31u7UY — PolitiTweet.org

"I have a partner who has been with the company for 17 years. She has almost 2 decades of experience and she makes a little over a dollar more than me — that's unacceptable." - Gianna Reeve https://t.co/OzI2lQfet3 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
"I, as a partner, and Howard Schultz, who is apparently also a partner, are supposed to be on equal playing fields. You need to uphold your morals, and if Starbucks won't do that, myself and my fellow partners will do that. That's why I'm fighting for this union." - Gianna Reeve https://t.co/akHnLwdA57 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
"They've sent what they call 'support partners' in to try to prevent us from talking about the union with our coworkers... We know that they're there to surveil us." - Michelle Eisen on the anti-union tactics used by Starbucks corporate https://t.co/VZn59Ee3mT — PolitiTweet.org

In America today, our younger generations, through no fault of their own, now has a lower standard of living than did their parents. In other words, the American dream is going backwards. Totally unacceptable. https://t.co/BE4OkWFUp0 — PolitiTweet.org

You know what, if Starbucks can find the money to pay their CEO nearly $15 MILLION in compensation, I think that MAAAAAYBE they can afford to pay their workers a decent wage with decent benefits! Not a radical idea! — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
TONIGHT: Starbucks workers in Buffalo, NY could make history this week by organizing to form the first union in the history of the company. I hope you'll join us tonight at 8 PM ET for a livestream discussion with the workers regarding what they hope to win with a union. https://t.co/m37eMYKM4A — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans have been working overtime doing all that they can to make it harder to vote in this country. Our job now is to do all we can to make it easier to vote and to ensure that we remain a democracy. https://t.co/THqs5MGSoW — PolitiTweet.org

Starbucks workers' median pay: $12,113 Starbucks CEO compensation: $14.7 MILLION If Starbucks can afford to pay its CEO over 1,200x what it pays its median workers, then yeah, I think they can afford to negotiate in good faith with workers organizing to join a union. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Young workers are struggling with low wages, high rents, student debt, lack of health care, etc. Some of them are fighting back. Please join me tomorrow night at 8 PM ET for a livestream with Starbucks employees in Buffalo who are forming the first union ever at that company. https://t.co/AAUeGuhahB — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
In my view, Starbucks — a company with record-breaking profits of over $8 BILLION this quarter alone — can absolutely afford to negotiate with its workers in good faith. Join me and Starbucks workers in Buffalo, NY on Monday to discuss why they're organizing to join a union. https://t.co/w9lajaNVEv — PolitiTweet.org

We can’t go back to the days when women had to risk their lives to end an unwanted pregnancy. We must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. And if there aren’t 60 votes to do it, and there are not, we must reform the filibuster to pass it with 50. https://t.co/FNRsYED5Ct — PolitiTweet.org

I stand in solidarity with miners at Warrior Met in Alabama fighting back courageously against Wall Street vultures who forced cuts to their wages and benefits. It is time that we put the lives of working people ahead of shareholder profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Cost for Pulmicort asthma inhaler: 🇬🇧: $0 🇨🇦: $33 🇺🇸: $311 I am sick and tired of the pharmaceutical industry continuing to rip off the American people. It is long past time to end their greed. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Since the Wall Street collapse of 2009, 45% of all new income has gone to the top 1%. During the pandemic, billionaires have seen their wealth increase by over $2 trillion. Is that the sort of economic reality that working people should be satisfied with? I don't think so. — PolitiTweet.org
