After championing the $15 minimum wage in their party platform, Democrats are facing a class-action lawsuit over failure to pay overtime. Field workers in various states are suing the DNC and state Democratic parties on the grounds that their 80-90 hour work weeks in the heat of the campaign qualify them for overtime payment, rather than their agreed upon salary of $2,500-$3,000 per month.
Field workers are plentiful and cheap, so Democratic operatives are naturally arguing that the plaintiffs don’t have a case because the supply of inexpensive labor allowed the party to pay them so little.
Isn't it amazing how the DNC preaches one thing, yet does another. Not only did the DNC fail to pay over-time, they failed to pay State or local minimum wages, and in some instances failed to pay the federal minimum wage.
Even more amazing is the fact that the DNC argues "Supply & Demand" when it suits them.
The laws you yourself create, are not for you, only other people.
