Summary
Bernie Sanders proposed legislation that would have made things very tough for Amazon unless they paid their workers a living wage. Well, it worked. Amazon DID raise wages for all of their employees.

Peter Ogburn talks to Gideon Resnick from The Daily Beast. They discuss the details on the new legislation and what Bernie hopes to accomplish, which Gideon wrote about in the piece linked below:
