Bill Clark via Getty Images Complaints about Sen. Klobuchar's mistreatment of staff date back to her first run for Senate. The letter, which Appleby provided to HuffPost (and which is reprinted below), followed a contentious battle over potential pay raises for Klobuchar’s staff, more than 100 of whom were represented by AFSCME. There isn’t a comparable set of rules around the use of campaign staff. When Klobuchar ran for re-election in 2012, her staff re-used the body person memo from 2006, a 2012 staffer said. It crosses a line, he said, “if they’re taking it out on the person sitting there.”That is broadly the problem that former Klobuchar staff and those who have interacted with them describe.
