Class action brewing against Seven over underpayment allegations
Seven and SCA have proposed a merger.
A class action featuring numerous current and former employees is being prepared against the Seven Network, alleging underpayment and other issues with the network’s employment practices.
The class action is being mustered by Adero Law, and relates to potential underpayments, unpaid breaks and overtime, as well as the misclassification of some roles, stretching back to October 2019.
According to Adero, the issues have been raised by journalists, producers, camera operators, and production crew, who “have been unable to resolve their concerns internally with Seven.”
