    “For months, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, the two wealthiest men alive,” said Sanders, “have been working overtime to abolish the NLRB. Why is that? These notorious anti-union billionaires want the absolute power to exploit their workers and violate labor law. The lower the wages they pay, the more money they make.
