“What would be truly heroic is if Disney used its profits from Avengers to pay all of its workers a middle class wage,' Sanders tweeted.
As Avengers: Endgame continues to dominate the box office, Sen. Bernie Sanders urged Disney to use the profits it makes from the superhero smash hit to better pay its staff.
What would be truly heroic is if Disney used its profits from Avengers to pay all of its workers a middle class wage, instead of paying its CEO Bob Iger $65.6 million – over 1,400 times as much as the average worker at Disney makes. https://t.co/NrcFSk4LZc Last June, Sanders reiterated his criticisms of the company, telling a rally of Disneyland workers at an Anaheim church: “I want to hear the moral defense of a company that makes $9 billion in profits, $400 million for their CEOs and have a 30-year worker going hungry. Tell me how that is right.”
"I am asking you to join me today as part of an unprecedented and historic grassroots campaign that will begin with at least a million people from across the country," the Vermont senator said, in an email to supporters.
