Several former campaign staff who put their personal lives and ambitions on hold to assist Michael Bloomberg’s presidential campaign are now suing the former 2020 hopeful for fraud.
The plaintiffs are mostly seasoned political operatives. More than one took their name out of consideration for other jobs to work for Bloomberg. One put off law school. According to their suit, the campaign promised 2,000 aides continued salary through the November election, only to renege.
But that story amounts to only half of Bloomberg’s troubles on this afternoon.
Per Politico:
The filing comes on the same day as another class action brought by a former Bloomberg field organizer that similarly argues the employees were tricked into taking jobs they were told would continue for a year.
The lawsuit by the three former workers in Georgia, Utah and Washington state, also filed in federal court in New York City, contends that the field organizers were fraudulently induced to accept jobs with the Bloomberg campaign based on the promise of guaranteed salaries though November. The ex-field staffers who filed the suit, Alexis Sklair, Nathaniel Brown, and Sterling Rettke, are represented by Peter Romer-Friedman of Gupta Wessler PLLC, and Ilann M. Maazel and David Berman of Emery Celli Brinckerhoff & Abady LLP.
Bloomberg on Friday purged all of those workers in six battleground states and guaranteed they would be paid only through the first week of April, with their benefits expiring at the end of that month. The first big round of layoffs across the rest of the country happened earlier this month, with their pay lasting though March 31.
Bloomberg hiring materials described as coming from headquarters promised work with “Team Bloomberg” though November, regardless of whether he became the Democratic nominee, provided that the aides working across the country were willing to relocate. Bloomberg’s team reiterated their plans to follow though — even if only in spirit — after the initial round of layoffs, when top campaign advisers indicated in emails and staff conference calls that they would be given priority on a planned Bloomberg super PAC.

Do You Approve of Trump’s COVID-19 Response? [TAKE THE SURVEY]
Hard to beleve a reprobate God hating demrat would bald face lie to other reprobate bottom feeders
He claims to be a Jew. What kind. Certainly not the ones God will save in the end.
He is a Democrat. Don’t they all lie.
He had those confidentiality agreements with those sexually abused women. A typical Democrat
He is a Yankee.
He is a New Yorker. Aren’t they the ones who take massive amounts from the Federal Gov?
Mini-Mike is a BIG-CROOK!
The wealthy feel as though they can do whatever they want – not all, but most – I hope these workers get their due!!!
If he can spend millions to be disruptive, he can honor his word and pay the staffers he promised. He’s just one more corrupt and lying politician.
And Bloomberg’ called our president a liar !!!!
Bloomberg was always full of hot air. I don’t know how he even thought he would stand a chance to be President. He is a Midget Dictator. Who in their right mind thinks that taking choices away from people is a good thing?
Bloomberg met his Waterloo,TRUMP.
He’s a lying sack of sh*t and a Democrat. But I repeat myself.
What!? A lying cheating crooked Demonrat! Say it ain’t so!
Mr. President Bloomberg…Mr. President Bloomberg…now that you have been elected President of your cell row at Sing-Sing will you be demanding better food?
Aww, that would be sweet. But, he is NOW a fing Democrat so you know that won’t happen. If he were still a POSRepublican he would be in prison. I hate ANY and ALL Politicians. This does not include President Trump because he is not a politicians. Thus the reason why all of these “celebrity” a$$holes NOW are against him instead of sucking his Richard as they use to. #FHollywood.
Thanks for the smile, Tom! 🙂 We need more smiles, and picturing Bloomberg in orange and shackles is worth smiling over for sure! He may be a mega wealthy person, but he’s a loser in absolutely every other way I can think of! And I hope every single one of the victims of his fraud and false promises ends up being a multi-millionaire!!
I am totally shocked that Bloomberg lied!!! I mean who knew a politician was capable of lying, especially a Democrat! But seriously, I had read somewhere that he had made the promise to employ everyone thru November regardless of if he got the nomination or not. And my first thought was, I hope they got it in writing!
Good old GLOBAL WARMING Bloomberg, who owns three helicopters, two private jets, a two story yacht and more than ten homes, all over the world. HYPOCRITES!!!!!!!!
Typical demonrat scum — lying to everyone — even himself.
And to think that this bloomTURD wanted to be president!
Proof that the country dodged a bullet.
Just another day at office for bluminghead! Who can I screw tomorrow????
He’s been screwing us all along. See: Virginia.
#DemocratsHateAmerica
One demwit sticking it to a bunch of other demwits…..
And here I thought demwits always circled the wagons around one another.
The best thing I see coming from Bloomberg Campaign staffers suing him is, Bloomberg would have a little less money to try and buy the 2020 dem election. Makes it just a little harder for him. I’m in favor of that !!!!!
Imagine that! A New York liberal Dem (who didn’t enter the race until super-Tuesday), in an effort of deliberate obstruction, being forced, thru court action, to actually fulfill a promise!!! GOOD RIDDANCE, Mini-Mike!
Welcome to the world of DEMONrats boys and girls….They’ll screw ya every time. Come over to the bright side.
With the stock market and the money he wasted on a democrat run at Trump Bloomy is probably as well healed as he was this time last year.It costs a lot of money to impress and entertain the DNC operatives so none left for the workers.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a Republican or a demoRAT , but especially if you are a demoRAT. Anyone who trusts a demoRAT deserves to be duped because these frauds are consistently in a All-out-War with the truth. It’s idiotic to believe anything they promise as they’re in the business of lying to others to reach power and control regardless the means used.
In this case it is all about Greed. But worse high profile Bloomberg’s greed serves make his ego look even worse.
OH,MY, MY, MY, A LYING DEMOCRAT WHALE SHIT EATING BOTTOM FEEDING PUKE LYING TO OTHER BOTTOM FEEDING LYING PUKES. Oh, the humanity oh, the Karma of all. The lcut off at knees LITTLE SHORT PECKER WOOD lied to his staff of liars AND THEY BELIEVED HIM. Keep on voting Democrat! Dummies! You don’t get shit!
Bloomers has a lot to answer for.
Perhaps the Ex Staffers could take up farming as we approach planting season. I hear the Ex candidate is an expert.
Good reply. They should have known better than to trust the crook.
The lesson here is get it all in a legal contract with the principal’s signature. Make sure there are dates, salaries, locations, stipends, per diem, healthcare coverage, housing, transportation, and penalties for failure to perform, etc. It cannot be allowed to turn into a “he said, he said” sort of thing. Without a legal document outlining all the terms of employment, a judge will not be able to do much to help the aggrieved parties.
What did you expect? He’s a Democrat!
GLAD TO SEE ALL OF THE ROTTEN DEMOCRATS GET SCAMMED BY MINI MIKE BLOOMBERG. HOPE HE GETS SUED FOR MILLIONS AND BLOCKED FROM EVER RUNNING FOR POTUS. ALL DEMOCRATS ARE LIARS, CRIMINALS DON’T MAKE HONEST POLITICIANS.
Why am I NOT SURPRISED ? The Do Nothing democrats do the crimes and ten blame the Republicans. They make me sick. The Do Nothing Democrats have only HURT our Country , bring nothing positive to the table or accomplishing nothing but costing the Hard Working tax payers Much money . they should be made to pay us all back. Thank God we have TRUMP in office and for 4 more years. The country has NEVER been so divided and the democrats have tried there best to make sure TRUMP fails . the American Republicans have WOKE Up to there bull shit. Catholic Boys/ CNN/ Jussie Smolett / Hillary / Nancy Pelosi , I can’t believe this is happening . TRUMP 20/20
