“I’ve never understood why staffers become so upset about not getting paid. This happens in every campaign that fails and many times in campaigns that are successful.

This tells me that many of these campaign workers were in it for the wrong reason. Unless they have an employment contract, they should just go back to their day jobs.

Individually that is a good approach. However there are many small business people that get shafted by these campaigns as well. A food provider for a function, transportation, rental on buildings, printing, etc. etc. etc.
