.
Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who ended his presidential run earlier this month, has reneged on a promise to pay campaign staff members through November, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
Bloomberg promised thousands of loyal, hardworking staffers that they would have a job in both the primary and general elections, and the opportunity to work to fight and defeat Donald Trump in November, according to the class-action lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Bloomberg laid off all of his remaining campaign staff last week. He also reversed on a plan to launch an independent political group to help defeat President Donald Trump in November, instead transferring $18 million from his presidential campaign committee to the Democratic National Committee.
Several former staffers say in the lawsuit that the campaign had promised to pay their salaries which were famously very high through November.
[The Bloomberg campaign] promised salaries nearly double that of other campaigns, the lawsuit alleges. And they pledged to keep this promise regardless of whether Bloomberg won the Democratic nomination.

Nice. Reminds me of someone else who makes promises.

Broken promises. Guess he decided to go back to being a republican.
