US: Sanders, Warren join striking airport workers
Democratic presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, Tuesday, joined 500 airline food workers picketing at Reagan National in Washington for higher wages and health insurance. “United, American and Delta over the last 5 years have raked in over US$50b in profit,” Warren said. “And yet, their workers, their food service workers, the people on the front lines are locked in poverty.” The two senators have positioned themselves as allies of unions and are vying for the influential endorsements of labour organisations. Both campaigns’ workers have unionised, though Sanders recently settled a dispute with a union representing his staffers, who said they were paid less than $15 an hour. <br/>
