Mike Lawler Campaign Retaliates Against Bloomberg Reporting on Canvasser Lawsuit

Mike Lawler's campaign responded to reporting by Khorri Atkinson regarding a lawsuit filed by 12 out-of-state canvassers. The canvassers claimed they were paid as little as $1 a door and were fired after speaking out against discriminatory workplace practices. In retaliation, Lawler’s campaign informed Bloomberg that it was revoking all RSVPs and press credentials for Bloomberg reporters, and warned that any reporter attending would be treated as a trespasser. The campaign manager also criticized Khorri Atkinson's reporting as dishonest and unprofessional.

The lawsuit involves claims of underpayment and termination related to discriminatory workplace practices during a political campaign. This highlights labor disputes within political operations, which could affect campaign costs and labor practices in similar political races.
