One of the candidates met with CWA employees before they went on strike (without the media)

Bernie Sanders is that candidate. He didn't look for a photoOp, and the CWA employee who posted this to the SandersForPresident reddit said the CWA union members know who has their back. Poor Hilli Vanilli raced across town after seeing Bernie at the picket lines to make sure she could get that photoOp.

This is so much like the Native American naming ceremonies we had in Washington last month. Bernie met a small group in a quiet room and humbly accepted the honor; it became public only when someone who was there posted their cell phone video on FB. Next day, Hillary participated in an event managed for publicity, with press present, cameras rolling and professionally printed props.
