Maybe Trump’s base will wake the hell up about the Friend of the Working Man when they read a lawsuit by Noel Cintron, Trump’s personal chauffeur of 25 years who is suing him, claiming Trump owes him thousands of hours of unpaid overtime, plus he eliminated his health insurance. Bloomberg:
Noel Cintron, who is listed in public records as a registered Republican, sued the Trump Organization for about 3,300 hours of overtime that he says he worked in the past six years. He’s not allowed to sue for overtime prior to that due to the statute of limitations
“In an utterly callous display of unwarranted privilege and entitlement and without even a minimal sense of noblesse oblige,” Trump and his businesses exploited the driver, Cintron says in the complaint.
Cintron says he was required to be on duty for Trump starting at 7 a.m. each day until whenever Trump, his family or business associates no longer required his services. He worked as long as 55 hours per week, but was paid a fixed salary of $62,700 in 2003, $68,000 in 2006, and $75,000 in 2010, according to the complaint.
The wage bump in 2010 came with a catch, Cintron said. He was induced to surrender his health insurance, saving Trump approximately $17,866 per year in premiums, according to the lawsuit.
Cintron also said that the Trump Organization didn’t send out wage notices as required by law. Maybe there’s unpaid income taxes as well?
