DNC paid staffers less than minimum wage, no overtime - people are suing

Dozens of field workers have filed a class action lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee, claiming the party that is pushing employers to pay a $15 minimum wage and more in overtime failed to pay overtime and minimum wages to its own employees. Justin Swidler, the attorney representing the field workers, argued the Democratic Party failed to pay workers a minimum wage and denied them overtime compensation.
Swidler “says the lawsuit seeks ‘fair pay for fair work,’ and holding the Democratic Party to the very ideals that it embraces,” according to CBS Philly. The 2016 Democratic platform pushed for a $15-per-hour minimum wage, a nearly $8 increase from the current minimum, and promised to defend an Obama-era regulation forcing employers to pay a higher rate to employees for working more than 40 hours.
Some of the Democrats’ workers put in 80-90 hours per week, according to Swidler, and got only $3,000 per month in compensation. “They got paid a flat salary of $3,000 a month, which isn’t even minimum wage for some of the hours that they were working,” Swidler said.

Well they didn't win so it looks like they got paid more than they deserved.

Nah, they got paid for hours employed, but donated a whole bunch of hours for the cause.

The Dems shout their shite to the roof tops only to have it come crumbling down on them later. Obocare is another good example along with the shovel ready jobs - well, you get the picture.

But I'd wager they still vote Democrat in the future, even after getting personally screwed by the Dems.

How can someone take a job with a salary and then bitch about how it breaks down hourly?

So the DNC exploited workers.

It sounds like these works agreed to work for a salary of $3000/month. Now they are bitching because someone did the math and learnded sometime you get F'ed in the A when you take a salary.

They are like WWE.

You can't put all of your workers on salary and work the dog shite out of them. There are laws against that.
