Sen. Bernie Sanders is pushing for better pay and job protection for Fenway Park employees after meeting with workers who say they’re overworked and underpaid.

This week, Sen. Sanders (I-VT) held meetings with several Fenway workers, some of whom have worked at the iconic Boston ball park for decades. Sanders shared some of those conversations in a video posted on his Instagram account.

One worker told Sen. Sanders that last year she made half of what she made in gratuity the year before. This year, she said she’s on track to make half of last year’s tip earnings.
