Workers Slam Bernie Moreno’s Record, Praise Sherrod Brown’s Fight for Ohio Working People
Workers gathered Friday morning at the future site of Bernie Moreno’s new car dealership in Sunbury, Ohio, criticizing the Senate candidate for his long-standing record of putting his own interests ahead of Ohio workers.
The demonstration follows recent revelations that Moreno invested over $9 million to open a new dealership, contradicting his previous claims of having “sold off all of his businesses to avoid conflicts of interest” while running for Senate.
Moreno’s return to the car dealership industry has drawn sharp rebuke from labor leaders, who argue that his track record of mistreating employees, avoiding fair pay, and contributing to job outsourcing makes him untrustworthy to represent Ohio workers.
“Bernie Moreno has been caught red-handed lying to Ohioans again,” said Jamie Shumaker, Executive Director of the Central Ohio Labor Council. “For months, Moreno has been telling Ohioans he sold off all of his businesses, but that’s not true. He’s back in the car business, where he’s made a fortune at the expense of his employees.”
