Plaintiffs accuse America Pac of several violations during its operation to support Orange countyās Michelle Steel
Elon Muskās troubled canvassing operation on behalf of Donald Trump and the Republican party is now facing a lawsuit in southern California filed by two women who say they were cheated out of wages and expenses as they knocked on doors for an embattled Republican congresswoman.
TheĀ suitĀ accuses Muskās America Pac, which has pouredĀ more than $100mĀ into this yearāsĀ electionĀ campaign, of āwillful violations of the California labor codeā by paying the plaintiffs less than it promised and refusing to make up the difference.
The women, Tamiko Anderson and Patricia Kelly, say they were hired last month and promised an hourly wage ā about $25, according to their lead lawyer ā to help turn out votes for Michelle Steel, who represents a closely contested swing district in Orange county, south of Los Angeles.
Iām sure heāll just consider the fine to be part of the price of doing business.
The pac will be pennyless and defunct in a few days. Good luck getting money from it. It did his job in legalising an obscene contribution to the Trump campaign and will just be closed up.
