Though Sanders has had sharp words for the tech giant in the past, its employees have given his campaign a considerable amount of money.
In August 2018, after Sanders claimed Amazon did not pay its workers fair wages and decried the working conditions, the company accused the senator of spreading"inaccurate and misleading" information. Sanders remained steadfast in his criticism of Amazon.
While Bezos is one of the richest people in the world, a CNN analysis published in April 2018—a few months before Amazon implemented its $15 minimum wage— found that at least half of Amazon employees already earned $15 per hour. According to Sanders, the size of the individual donations indicated that campaigns could garner support without assistance from the rich.
