Not the
indentured servitude, as she
was free to stop cheering for her team any ol' time she wanted;
A former Milwaukee Bucks cheerleader has filed a federal lawsuit
accusing the National Basketball Association team of failing to pay her
at least a minimum wage or overtime for her work, court documents
showed.
Lauren Herington, 22, worked 30 to
40 hours in an average week in her one season for the team, making
about $3.50 to $4.50 an hour, and was not compensated for overtime when
she worked more than 40 hours in a week, attorney Scott Andresen said.
So, we'll have to
give her an F for;
"They
are indentured servants with pom poms," Andresen said by phone, adding
that more Bucks cheerleaders could possibly join the lawsuit.
Not too surprisingly;
A Milwaukee Bucks team representative could not be reached immediately to comment.
There's never an economist around to cheer for, when you want one.
