Five Times Bernie Moreno Lied To Ohioans About His Record Mistreating His Employees

October 17, 2024

Columbus, OH - Bernie Moreno has faced lawsuit after lawsuit for mistreating his employees and has been scrutinized for making multiplefalseclaims about the "at least 50" lawsuits he's faced - including a dozen lawsuits for refusing to pay his employees what they were owed and deliberately destroying evidence he was legally required to keep to get out of paying them.

Five Times Bernie Moreno Lied To Ohioans About His Record Of Mistreating Workers:

1. MORENO: "In Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Supreme Court changed [the law] and then made that ruling retroactive… but [the media] keep reporting it as wage theft… And then after I looked at it, I threw it away. The judge said, 'Well, you should have kept that document.' Well, I didn't realize that that document had anything to do with this…" [52:15, 09/05/24]

2. MORENO: "[Moreno's employees] claimed that they worked overtime, they had no proof of it. The judge didn't like the fact that we were even trying the case so he tried everything possible to prejudice the jury, including telling them that we destroyed documents which is absolutely not true." [05:26, 9/11/24]

3. MORENO: "[The Massachusetts Supreme Court] ruled that, in Massachusetts, commission salespeople are entitled to overtime… they went backwards and said, 'hey, if you don't agree with our interpretation of wage law, you owe all this overtime'… if you put radical lunatics in these courts, they're going to destroy this country." [02:39, 9/14/24]

4. MORENO: "… ​​the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that commission salespeople are entitled to overtime… they made the ruling retroactive, which was totally insane." [03:09, 9/16/24]

5. MORENO: "Well, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that they should be entitled to overtime… Unfortunately, the lunatics in Massachusetts made that ruling retroactive." [14:09, 09/23/24]
