Obama campaign workers angry over unpaid wages

The workers showed up to get their cards Wednesday morning at 10:00 am.
"There was a note on the door saying 1:00 pm and then at 1:20 pm everybody was like why is nobody here. They just got here and they're trying to get it organized," said Heather Richards, a former campaign worker.

Eventually people did start getting paid, but some said they were missing hours and told to fill in paperwork making their claim and that eventually they would get a check in the mail.

"Still that's not right. I'm disappointed. I'm glad for the president, but I'm disappointed in this system," said Diane Jefferson, temporary campaign worker.

"It should have been $480. It's $230," said Imani Sankofa.

"They gave us $10 an hour. So we added it. I added up all the hours so it was supposed to be at least $120. All I get is $90," said Charles Martin.

"I worked nine hours a day for 4 days and got paid half of what I should have earned," said Randall Waldon.

Some people weren't satisfied with filling out a claim form for money they felt was still due to them.

"They say that they gonna call you or they going to mail it to you, but I don't know. We'll see what happens," said Antron Grose.

It looks like we have a good START

This missing money must be due to Obama's new taxes for the rich - these people have an income so they're "rich".

These people have nothing to complain about. It's just spreading the wealth around.

Don't worry I'm sure the foreign arab terrorists who fianancially back his election will pony up some more money to pay his people. I can only hope that the Balck Panther guy with the night stick got paid first, cause if not.............

First thing I hope Obama does is clean house at the ICE and get rid of all the criminal thugs working there.....

Well, what part of "spreading the wealth around" did Imani not understand?

You make a lot of nonsense.. gonna be difficult to do your job with your new commander in chief.. that is if that is what you really are, which I doubt.. people with this much hate in any public safety job are usually in continual trouble in their job.
