The employee alleges that the PAC, which in the past has targeted Republicans for opposing overtime pay, owes her more than two years of backpay.

An employee of the powerful Democratic super PAC American Bridge is suing the organization for allegedly violating federal law and refusing to pay her overtime for more than two years.

Susan Hascall, who works for American Bridge as a tracker in Texas, alleged in the lawsuit, which has not been previously reported, that since March 2022, she “generally” worked nearly 50 hours a week — with that number reaching 65 hours during “primary seasons, midterms and general elections” — and rarely took lunch breaks.

American Bridge is the largest opposition hub for Democrats and progressives, and is known for following, tracking and conducting research on Republican candidates. The organization did not respond to NOTUS’ request for comment.
