(32,640 posts)the biggest friend to labor, proudly proclaiming itself the first to have it's staff organize into a union? Are you saying that the employer was justified in harrassing and demoting her for choosing to return to work for whatever reason, having a paycheck to pay the rent being among them?
What reaction do you think Sanders would have had about any other candidate campaign that faced allegations of ignoring harassment and discrimination complaints?
Why do you think that tried to make her sign an NDA, if indeed they thought how they handled this was all well and good?
Perhaps you missed this in the OP, or you wouldn't say that she felt she needed to rush back to work because she was "terrified" that "she would lose her health care" - she wasn't being told that she was losing her health care, but that she was being demoted.
The day after the surgery, the suit says, Shannon got a phone call in her hospital room from Rafael Navar, the campaign's state director, telling her she was being demoted.
Navar bluntly stated that he had no confidence in her ability to do her job given her cancer and surgery and that he was bringing in someone else to do her job," the suit says.
