So what next? Well, Bernie is setting his sights on Wal-Mart for the same issue. Wal-Mart doesn't pay their employees a living wage and Bernie has teamed up with Rep. Ro Khana (D-CA) to introduce legislation with hopes of convincing Wal-Mart to do the same thing. Peter Ogburn talks to Gideon Resnick from The Daily Beast.
