Andrew Yang Encourages WWE Stars To Contact Attorney To ‘Get What Vince McMahon Owes You’

Andrew Yang is once again standing up for the wrestlers in WWE, as today he noted that they should contact an attorney to get proper compensation for their job. Yang has supported the wrestlers in the past and wanted to look into their status as independent contractors. In a post on Twitter, Yang said he spoke with the Department of Labor and that if WWE wrestlers want to get what’s owed to them, they should contact Lucas Middlebrook. Middlebrook describes himself as a “union side labor attorney representing airline and professional sports related labor groups including professional fighters.”

Andrew Yang wrote: “Had a call with the Department of Labor. If you are a current or former @WWE performer who feels you were misclassified as an independent contractor contact @lkmiddleb and let’s get you what Vince owes you. Been a long time coming but this storyline is real.”

A fan replied: “If fall into this group, please note that about 2 years ago Andrew said the same thing. He said if Biden won, he would become Labor Secretary and fix this. Then after he didn’t become Labor Secretary, he decided to run for the Mayor of NYC and then pulled out of that race.”

Yang shot back: “2 years ago the Department of Labor was managed by someone who was very close to Vince. Times change.”
