Bullies, Brainwashing, and Bucks: NBA Dancer Lauren Herington was worth less than $4.00 an hour

from After Orange Slices

In celebration of International Women's Month, we welcome Lauren Herington on the podcast. Lauren is a former NBA Dancer for the Milwaukee Bucks and today is an ambassador for equal rights in the workplace. In 2015, Lauren sued the NBA franchise in a class-action suit after claiming she and other dancers were underpaid in violation of federal and state labor and wage laws. In 2017, the dancers came away with a total settlement of a meek $250,000. In hopes to spark change throughout the league and similar industries, Lauren speaks out on her unfair wages of less than $4.00 an hour, being blacklisted from other teams, severe bullying, brainwashing, and unhealthy environments she experienced as a professional dancer.
