Bernie Sanders has an idea of how Disney can write a “truly heroic” story following the box-office record shattering weekend from Avengers: End Game this past week: Spread the profits around.
Mr Sanders, in a tweet, took the entertainment behemoth to task, criticising the salary of the company’s CEO, Bob Iger, and urging better pay for the rest of the employees there.
Avengers: End Game shattered box office records by taking in $356m in the US over the weekend, and more than $1.22bn internationally in its first week in theatres.
Mr Iger makes a reported $65.6m a year from his post as the head honcho at Disney — a salary that is 1,400 times as much as the income of an average worker there.
