Ngaphandle kwesithembiso, inkxaso yakhe kwimbangela yabo yayiyeyona ndlela iphambili yeFaustian kunenye yomdla wokwenene. UNks.Clinton kutshanje uphumeze umvuzo omncinci oyi- $ 12. Abachasi bakhe, uSenator Bernie Sanders kunye noMartin O'Malley bobabini bavakalise eyabo inkxaso Umvuzo omncinci oyi- $ 15 kwangoko kwimikhankaso yabo, kodwa kwathatha de kwasekuqaleni kukaNovemba kuNks uClinton ukuba aqinisekise ukuma kwakhe kulo mba.
Umlo wokufumana umvuzo omncinci oyi- $ 15 ibisisiseko se-Service Employees International Union (SEIU), ethe echithiwe izigidi ukuyityhalela kulwazi lwaseMelika oluphambili — yiyo loo nto besandula ukwenza ukuvuma kaHillary Clinton ayinangqondo ngombutho. Amalungu aliqela e-SEIU ayavuma, kunye nemingxunya kumbutho ngaphezulu kokuvunywa, kunye Isahluko saseNew Hampshire SEIU ukuxhasa ngokusesikweni uSenator uBernie Sanders ngokuziphindezela ngesigqibo.
Ukusebenza kukaNks.Clinton kwezopolitiko kumbandela womvuzo omncinci asikuphela kwendlela ayisebenzisileyo ukuzuza imibutho yabasebenzi. Uye waziqhelanisa noWal-Mart, apho ebelilungu lebhodi ukusukela ngo-1986-1992, ngelixa umbutho ubusenza amaphulo ngokuchasene nemibutho yabasebenzi efuna ukudibanisa abasebenzi basevenkileni. Akukho bungqina wakha wathetha ngenkxaso yakhe kwimibutho yabasebenzi, kwaye Iindaba ze-ABC Ufumene iividiyo zeentlanganiso zebhodi awayeye kuzo kwaye wathula njengoko amanye amalungu ebhodi asebenza ngeendlela ezichasene nomanyano. INew York Times ixelwe Ngo-2007 ukuba uNks.Clinton ugcina ubudlelwane obusondeleyo nabaphathi beWal-Mart, kodwa uyalishiya ixesha elidlulileyo nenkampani kwintetho nakwiwebhusayithi yakhe. Ngexesha lokuqeshwa kwakhe kwibhodi kaWal-Mart, wayephethe phantse i-100, 000 yeedola kwisitokhwe kwaye wayeligqwetha kwiRose Law Firm, eyayimele inkampani kwiimeko ezininzi. Unondyebo wakhe wangoku wephulo, UJose Villareal Uchithe amashumi eminyaka kwiibhodi zeWal-Mart kunye nezinye iinkampani eziqhutywa ngabanini bazo, usapho lakwaWalton.
Ukongeza kwisivumelwano esivela kwi-SEIU, UNks. Clinton ufumene iimvume ezivela kwimanyano enkulu yootitshala yesizwe, Umbutho weMfundo kaZwelonke . Isigqibo sikwadala umsantsa ngaphakathi kwimanyano, kunye nezahluko zikarhulumente nezasekhaya beqhankqalaza ukuvuma. Inkqubo ye- I-American Federation yootitshala 'Ukuxhasa u-Ms Clinton kubangele uqhekeko olufanayo phakathi kwamalungu akhe-uninzi lwabachasi ekuvumeleni oko kujongela phantsi inkqubo yedemokhrasi yokuxhasa umgqatswa ngaphambi kokhetho, yiyo loo nto iimanyano ezininzi zingakhange zivume nawuphi na umgqatswa, kubandakanya ilizwe ngowona mbutho mkhulu wemibutho yabasebenzi, I-AFL-CIO .
Imbali kaClintons kunye neemanyano zabasebenzi ayisiyonto intle. IWashington Post kutshanje ixelwe ngexesha likaBill Clinton njengeRhuluneli yase-Arkansas, imibutho yootitshala yacaphukela abakwaClintons emva kokuba bexhase umthetho wezemali e-Arkansas ngokuchaswa ngokungaginyisi mathe yimibutho yootitshala, ngaphandle kwemirhumo yephulo lokunika inkxaso nenkxaso eyanikwa uBill Clinton kunyulo lwakhe lokuqala kwiCongress ngo-1974. Ukuthanda kukaClinton ukuflip flip okanye ukulinda ukungqina ukuma kwakhe kwimiba ephambili de kube iqela lezopolitiko elilungileyo lizityhile, imibutho yootitshala bekufanele ukuba ilumke kakhulu kwaye ubuncinci ibambe ukuxhasa umgqatswa kude kube semva kokhetho.
Ngethuba lephulo lakhe langoku likamongameli, uNkosazana Clinton wayethandabuza ukungayamkeli kwakhe i-Keystone XL kunye neTrans Pacific Partnership de uninzi lweemanyano zabasebenzi zazikhe zangqina ukuba ziyazichasa izivumelwano, kwaye yacaca gca ukuba kuzakufuneka abaphikise ukuba ufuna inkxaso yabo. . Emva kokunyanzeleka, iimanyano zabasebenzi ezininzi zaye zafikelela ekuqinisekisweni kwazo nangona ukuma kwakhe kwinkcaso kweza kwiinyanga emva kuka Mnu. Sanders. Ukubandakanyeka kwakhe kokuqala ekumiseni izivumelwano ngelixa wayesebenza njengoNobhala kaRhulumente kufanele ukuba kube sisalathiso esaneleyo kwimibutho yabasebenzi ukuze kuyekwe ukuxhasa umgqatswa wangaphambili, ongaphezulu kwelokuba angabambeleli kwiminqweno yakhe ukuba unyuliwe.
Uthungelwano lwabaxhasi lweClinton Foundation bekufanele ukuba luthintele imibutho yabasebenzi ekubeni imvume. Kwiminyaka engama-41, isiseko sabo sifumene phantse i-3 yezigidigidi zemirhumo , uninzi lwazo luvela kwimibutho emikhulu okanye kwizigqeba zazo. Imibutho yabasebenzi iyazikhohlisa ukuba iyakholelwa ukuba uNks.Clinton uzokulwela iimfuno zabo ngaphezulu kwemibutho yabasebenzi.
