Bernie Sanders' 2020 campaign staffers affirm union contract

Context: The contract comes just 1 day after Sanders’ campaign debuted a 17-page "blueprint" for combatting discrimination and misconduct on his staff. That includes mandatory training, a hotline to report harassment and a fixed pay scale, The Guardian reports.

• Sanders faced concerns and complaints surrounding his 2016 presidential campaign for the management of workplace inclusion, salary disparity and sexual impropriety.
• The Vermont senator admitted publicly that the culture of his prior presidential campaign was "too white" and "too male," according to The Guardian.
• The guidelines released on Tuesday were originally introduced in January, after Sanders met former staff members who claimed they experienced sexual harassment and discrimination on his 2016 campaign. In a letter, the individuals asked to “pre-empt the possibility of replicating the predatory culture from the first presidential campaign,” per The Guardian.
