Bernie Sanders picks up megaphone, walks union picket in Cedar Rapids







Wow such listening! :













CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia.  Bernie Sanders grabbed a sign and then a megaphone as he walked a labor picket line Friday night.



Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, joined perhaps 100 Cedar Rapids-area union workers in an informational picket outside Penford Products, a corn processor where the Bakers Confectioners Tobacco Grain Millers union local 100G is negotiating a new contract with the management.



Sanders strolled up to the picket shortly before 5:30 p.m., picked up a sign stapled to a long stick and marched with the crowd to a park across the street from the plant.



I want you to know being out on a picket line and standing with workers is something I have been doing for my entire life, Sanders told the crowd. I did when I was mayor of the city of Burlington, did in Congress, did it in the Senate. This is what I do.
