Bernie Moreno Has A Record Of Mistreating Employees, Under Scrutiny For At Least 50 Lawsuits

September 30, 2024

Columbus, OH - In the past month, new reporting has revealed additional details about the "at least 50 times" Bernie Moreno has been sued as his campaign is "clouded" by a "slew of lawsuits for workers' wages and workplace discrimination."

Let's Rewind:

On September 3rd, reporting from WKYC revealed Bernie Moreno has been sued "at least 50 times," which is "much more than" what Moreno has falsely claimed on the campaign trail.

On September 4th, new reporting from Spectrum News revealed "previously unreported court records" that show Bernie Moreno destroyed even more evidence than originally known to get out of paying his employees the overtime they had earned, including "daily schedules." When asked why he destroyed evidence and stole wages, Moreno echoed lies that multiplefact-checks have already debunked as "false."

On September 20th, new reporting from Mother Jones revealed Bernie Moreno "refused to pay" an Ohio contractor over $300,000 and "forc[ed] the construction firm to file a legal claim" to make Moreno pay them what they were owed.

Bottom line: Bernie Moreno's record of "refus[ing] to pay" what he owed, "stiffing workers," and even deliberately shredding evidence to get out of paying his employees makes it clear that he only looks out for himself.
