Oh look:

Hypocrisy is in the eye of the beholder, but according to the article, average hourly pay for the campaign workers in question is less than $13 based on a 60-hour workweek. It actually works out to around $11.50 if they work the full 60 hours, at a salary of $36,000 a year.

It turns out, however, that even that rate is significantly greater than what Bernie Sanders minimum wage bill would require if it were magically signed into law today. Under the Sanders bill, the minimum wage would increase to $8.55 an hour on the effective date of the law, and go up to $9.85 after a year, which would leave only a few months to go in the presidential campaign.

Sanders bill doesnt eclipse his current minimum staff wage for three years and doesnt hit $15 until 5 years after the effective date.
