Cleveland.com: Bernie Moreno Got Sued By An Employee Who Said He Didn't Get Paid What He Was Promised. Here's What Happened.

Columbus, OH - After Cleveland.com reported that Bernie Moreno faced another lawsuit from a former employee whom Moreno "stiffed out of money that Moreno personally promised him," Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga released the following statement:

"As President of the Ohio AFL-CIO, I can confidently say the choice for Senate in Ohio is easy. While Sherrod Brown looks out for Ohio workers, Bernie Moreno continues to show them that he only cares about himself," said Tim Burga, Ohio AFL-CIO President. "Moreno was found by a jury to have cheated his workers out of earned pay and shredded documents during the litigation. He also sold Chinese-made vehicles that hurt Ohio workers, and then lied about it. With working people your word is your bond. Sherrod Brown's word is good while Moreno has proven he can't be trusted and will only look out for himself."

Moreno has faced "a string" of lawsuits for mistreating his employees, including one lawsuit where he deliberately destroyed evidence he was legally required to keep to get out of paying his workers the overtime they earned.
