Sanders suggests Disney should use 'Avengers' profits to 'pay all of its workers a middle class wage'

[admin]

 

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Monday called on Disney to use profits from its "Avengers: Endgame" record-breaking opening weekend to pay all employees "a middle class wage."

The Vermont senator and presidential candidate linked to a Bloomberg article on the superhero film’s opening weekend box-office returns, an all-time high of $1.2 billion worldwide.

"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," Sanders tweeted.

Sanders has been a frequent critic of the corporation’s management practices, praising unionized Walt Disney World Resort workers in August after they secured a $15 minimum wage in negotiations with the company. And at California rally in June, he said he wanted "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."

In a discussion and viral Twitter thread earlier this month, Roy Disney’s granddaughter Abigail said Iger’s compensation "is insane" and called on the company to shift "some of the profits" to rank-and-file employees.

"There’s a point at which there’s just too much going around the top of the system into this class of people who — I’m sorry this is radical — have too much money," she said.
