President Donald Trump’s personal chauffeur is suing him. Noel Cintron, who has served the real estate mogul for 25 years, has filed suit against Trump claiming thousands of hours of unpaid overtime. He also says Trump eliminated his health insurance.

Cintron just “sued the Trump Organization for about 3,300 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,” Bloomberg reports.


In his 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.”

He received just two raises over the past six years, but his 2010 raise “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.”

2. It just amazes me that an alleged billionaire would nickel and dime his employees.

Of course, maybe he isn't really a billionaire at all, some people say.

6. A lot of rich people are very cheap. Some would take a dollar out of a dead person's hand.

Just how some of them role.

4. Gee I wonder if he ended up using the ACA?

And why not quit as soon as it was obvious no OT was being paid?

7. Most rich people keep their drivers.

Him finding another job is not easy. For security reasons, once a driver pans out, the smart people retain and treat the driver well. Trump is just a cheap, greedy, corrosive person.

8. I'd bet they kept promising it to him. And it probably was a pretty good job.

What might have pushed him over the edge was when they took away his health insurance to offset his raise.

5. Just another person that deadbeat screwed. nt

9. He'll have to take a ticket and stand in line.

Along with all the others who worked for Trumpco and got shafted.

He could write a tell-all book. He's probably heard many conversations.

10. ...and he was stupid enough to keep signing on.....
