Swidler says she and others believed in the Democratic platform and ideals, and put in 80-to-90-hours a week in the last stages of the race to support Hillary Clinton.

“They got paid a flat salary of $3,000 a month, which isn’t even minimum wage for some of the hours that they were working,” said Swidler.

He says the lawsuit seeks “fair pay for fair work,” and holding the Democratic Party to the very ideals that it embraces.
