Four Reasons Why Wall Street Should Be Fearing The Bern

CWA President Chris Shelton asks: Are big bankers quaking in their Ferragamo loafers?

In Bernie Sanders, we at last have a presidential candidate who is fed up with an economy that has been manipulated by Wall Street to benefit the very wealthiest Americans at the expense of working families. Sanders has a bold plan to overhaul the status quo, and it's resonating with the American people.

CWA will be working to make that vision a reality, in the streets and at the polls. Last month, our members endorsed Sanders for president, and one of the key reasons he got our members' support is his plan to tackle income equality – starting with reining in Wall Street. Sanders's latest "greed is no good" speech was further proof that CWA backed the right candidate.

Find out what those issues are in Shelton's latest Medium post. Read it here.
