Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders settled on his next corporate target this week; demanding McDonald’s pay all of its employees a $15 minimum wage despite age, work experience, or position at the company.
Sanders sent a scathing letter to McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook Thursday; saying “No one in America, especially those working for a profitable corporation like McDonald’s, should be living in poverty.”
Sanders’ new demand comes just days after Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos caved to the liberal legislator’s campaign against his company; increasing the minimum wage to $15 but slashing bonuses and stock options to help finance the higher pay.
