"All of my colleagues agree: we need one fair wage. A full minimum wage with tips on top." - Gabrielle Magnus, a @onefairwage worker in Detroit, Michigan https://t.co/bUDYPoFEwM — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

"I have worked in states that pay a full minimum wage with tips on top, and my tips never suffered. Let me say that again: my tips NEVER suffered." - Heather McIntosh, a tipped wage worker in Maine https://t.co/eHzucaM5cY — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Nationally, the federal minimum wage is all of $7.25 an hour. But if you are someone who depends on tips for your living, your minimum wage is $2.13 an hour. It has not been raised since 1991. Unacceptable. https://t.co/idWsUzeytf — PolitiTweet.org

"We have to end this sub-minimum wage. Workers have said, 'we want this, we need this, NOW.'" - @SaruJayaraman of @onefairwage https://t.co/x0sWF2CYIH — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We must end starvation wages for tipped workers. Join me and @OneFairWage LIVE NOW for a town meeting on ending the tipped minimum wage. https://t.co/g2x7u4qu6l — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, 1 out of 5 Americans could not afford the medicine prescribed by their doctors. Meanwhile, over the course of the pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry has increased the price of more than 500 prescription drugs. That is the sort of greed we have got to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I do not think in the year 2021 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.82 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job. I believe we can achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work. #EqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I hope you'll join me, @onefairwage and tipped wage workers from around the country tomorrow night at 8:00 PM ET as we discuss the fight to end starvation wages. What questions do you have for us when it comes to raising the tipped minimum wage in this country? https://t.co/dE7gR078kl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Over the last 23 years, drug companies spent $7.6 billion on lobbyists. Since 1990, they contributed more than $700 million to candidates. Now the industry charges us the highest prices in the world for prescriptions. Congress must summon the courage NOW to take them on. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I am proud to support the New Deal for CUNY campaign calling on New York state to tax the rich and make CUNY tuition-free for poor and working-class students. Together, we will make this a reality at public colleges and universities across America. https://t.co/mQeqkgdSUv — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to nurses in Wisconsin who stood together, demanded the dignity they deserve and won! https://t.co/PU4wsfGecC — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Space travel is an exciting idea, but right now we need to focus on Earth and create a progressive tax system so that children don't go hungry, people are not homeless and all Americans have healthcare. The level of inequality in America is obscene and a threat to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

CEO pay growth from 1979-2019: 1,167% Worker pay growth from 1979-2019: 13.7% Maybe it's a radical idea, but I think it's time we created an economy that looks out for the working people of this country, and not just the CEOs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Every benefit, from the minimum wage to the 5-day work week, was earned when people organized. It’s never easy. But workers at an Amazon warehouse in Alabama are standing together right now and if they win, it will send a shockwave throughout this country. https://t.co/4JVvXAPHfJ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Tens of millions of Americans are out of work. Half our people are living paycheck to paycheck. But hey, a handful of billionaires have another $1.3 trillion in wealth, so that's okay, right? WRONG. Enough is enough. We have got to create an economy that works for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Right now, women make up 70% of tipped workers, yet they experience 3x the poverty rate as the rest of the workforce. That is an outrage. Please join me and @onefairwage next Wednesday at 8 PM ET for a conversation with tipped workers on raising the tipped minimum wage. https://t.co/vtiY0CXlGg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The average worker in America is now making $32 dollars a week less than he or she made 48 years ago – after adjusting for inflation. That is absurd. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We are in a moment in American history where two guys — Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — own more wealth than the bottom 40% of people in this country. That level of greed and inequality is not only immoral. It is unsustainable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

When we talk about rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, we must include low-income and affordable housing. Today, 500,000 Americans are homeless, and 18 million spend 50% of their incomes on shelter. We can create millions of jobs building the housing we desperately need. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

What will the $1,400 direct payments in the American Rescue Plan mean for you and your family? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I happen to think that at the end of the day, to deliver for working people, we have got to end the filibuster. https://t.co/WrsYSd5jXZ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I stand with nurses in Madison, Wisconsin who are demanding a safe work environment and paid sick leave. They are on the frontlines in our fight against COVID-19. We must treat them like the heroes they are. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let me be clear, we must have the courage to address the crises facing the American people, even if it means taking on the big money interests. Yes, we are off to a really good start. But we must continue to stand up for the working class. https://t.co/qZIoZYPI5n — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Shock of shocks! After historic voter turnout, the GOP is trying to restrict who can and cannot vote. Cowardly politicians who can only win elections by suppressing the vote need to get out of politics and find a new job. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The American Rescue Plan is the most consequential piece of legislation for working families passed in many decades, and that is because it begins to address, in rather significant ways, the enormous and unprecedented crises they are facing today. https://t.co/khgC0Ul7uf — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I say to Jeff Bezos, the richest person on the planet: what is your problem with Amazon workers organizing for better working conditions and better pay? You are worth $182 BILLION. You cannot continue to have it all when so many are struggling. https://t.co/2Iqglogg2u — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We cannot and will not have a moral society when so few have so much and so many have so little. That is the struggle we are engaged in. We must continue to fight for an economy that works for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

One year ago, Breonna Taylor was murdered by police officers. It is a disgrace that we are still waiting on justice. The time is long overdue for us to combat systemic racism and a broken criminal justice system. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The American Rescue Plan more than doubles funding for community health centers, which means that more working families all over this country will be able to walk into a community health center and get the care they need. That will be transformative for so many. — PolitiTweet.org
