Presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders tweeted his support for City of Oakland workers last weekend, supporting union negotiations and calling on Oakland City administration to fill over 600 unfilled city jobs.

Senator Sanders met with some Oakland city workers in late August to learn about their efforts to improve public services amidst an under-staffing crisis.
