OEA President Calls Out Bernie Moreno After New Lawsuit Surfaces

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," OEA President Scott DiMauro released the following statement:

"Ohio workers know we can't trust Bernie Moreno to do what's right for us, and this latest example of Moreno refusing to pay an employee what they were owed proves it," said Scott DiMauro, OEA President. "Moreno has a pattern of stiffing his workers out of their pay and even shredded documents a judge ordered him to keep to get out of paying them. Moreno has a long record of short changing his own workers - if he's elected, he won't look out for us."

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.
