LA Raiders sued in Alameda County for off-the-clock work and other alleged wage and hour violations
Numerous news sources reported on the wage and hour lawsuit filed by one LA Raider cheerleader against the team for allegedly violating California state wage and hour laws.
Read the complaint here.
KQED (Northern area Public Radio) reports:
A member of the Oakland Raiderettes cheerleading squad sued the football team in Alameda County Superior Court on Wednesday, alleging that the club is in “flagrant violation” of an array of California wage and employment laws.
[The lawsuit] claims the Oakland Raiders club doesn’t pay the cheerleaders for all the time they spend working, withholds pay until the end of the season, and forces them to pay some of their own business expenses.
The lawsuit seeks to be certified as a class action on behalf of all present and former Raiderettes who cheered for the team since 2010.
[according to the complaint] the cheerleaders are paid only $1,250 per season, which amounts to less than $5 per hour for the time they spend rehearsing, performing and making required appearances at charity events.
