Australian Naturopaths Sue Workplace For Millions


here, from Oz:

001. at abc.net.au, there's Matt Wordsworth's article "Naturopaths Seek Millions in Damages over Allegations of Bullying, Underpayment and Abuse"  (2019-02-02):

"two of the nation's biggest natural medicine retailers are facing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Queensland from a group of naturopaths who say they have been grossly underpaid and systematically bullied by a franchisee [...] enduring what they alleged was years of verbal abuse, being forced to work unpaid in some instances, as well as being consistently underpaid by amounts adding up to $240,000 [...] the group of five naturopaths said they were spied on by CCTV, forced to work without pay before and after their shifts and perform non-work-related tasks such as picking up the owners' family members, dropping stock at their home and shopping for presents [...]";

it's interesting that here Australian naturopaths seek justice, when the just thing for them to do is to inform the public that the essentially naturopathic is considered bogus.
