And Now It's The Jills Turn To File Suit

((HT: WGRZ-TV))

We first saw this with the Oakland Raiders and their cheerleaders...

They filed suit claiming that the team failed to pay them in accordance to minimum wage laws and forced them to act in a demeaned manner at times while representing the team. Citing their long hours and averaging out their activities against the hours worked, it was nowhere close in Oak Town and they went to court...

Now, a handful of former Buffalo Bills cheerleaders are following in that activity in state Supreme Court...

And the one thing the HQ knows is not to mess with any woman from western New York State...

Scott and Mary Alice have the details...
Here's the suit as it was filed...
Obviously, the Bills didn't have any kind of "real" comment citing the impending litigation. But it will be interesting to see how the court views the relationship between independent contractors and a monopoly...
