While giving speeches in Southern California, Bernie Sanders has used Disney's employee wages as an example of economic inequality. He stated that "Disney pays its workers wages that are so low that many of them are forced to live in motels because they cannot afford a decent place to live." It has been known that Disney employees have called for increased wages with help form unions. It's because of situations like this that Sanders says that "His campaign is listening to people who are not often listened to."
I'm glad that Bernie is bringing to attention problems like this. I, for one, didn't know about Disney employees low wages. I didn't think they were high but I thought they were at least average. It kind of sucks hearing stuff like that about the "Happiest Place on Earth". All I've got to say is that hope Bernie doesn't make to many enemies. If he wants to have a chance at becoming president, or even Democratic candidate, he's going to need to spend more time making friends instead of bashing huge companies who have the power to take away his support systems.
