WASHINGTON— Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thinks federal civil servants should be allowed to strike, and he wants to repeal 26 state laws that protect private-sector employees’ right to work without having to join a union.
In the massive proposal, unveiled on Aug. 21 and modeled on the Workplace Democracy Act Sanders has routinely introduced for years in Congress, Sanders presented a plan that his campaign said is designed “to restore workers’ rights to bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions.”
