DNC Union Criticizes Leadership Over Sudden Layoffs Without Severance

The Democratic National Committee faces backlash from its staff union following unexpected job cuts after the 2024 election loss.

The DNC Staff Union condemned the leadership for terminating permanent employees with just one day's notice and no severance pay.
Despite raising over a billion dollars during the campaign, the DNC did not provide financial support to laid-off employees, unlike the Harris-Walz campaign which offered three weeks of severance.
The union accused the DNC of hypocrisy, noting that the party's values were not upheld in their treatment of staff.
DNC Chair Jamie Harrison announced he will not seek reelection, prompting discussions on new leadership with potential candidates like Stacey Abrams and Pete Buttigieg.
The layoffs have led to a loss of trust among employees, with some expressing disillusionment with the party's commitment to being the 'party of the working people.'
