Two leaders of Milwaukee’s host committee for the 2020 Democratic National Convention were fired on Feb. 4 amid an investigation into concerns about the organization’s work environment.
“Every employee has a right to feel respected in their workplace. Based on the information we have learned to date, we believe the work environment did not meet the ideals and expectations of the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee Board of Directors,” the Milwaukee 2020 Host Committee said in a statement.
