Lisa Vanderpump’s Dog Charity Sued for ‘Intolerable Work Conditions’: Exclusive
The Vanderpump Dog Foundation [TVDF] is currently embroiled in a legal battle with an ex-employee, escalating into a long-standing court dispute over ‘intolerable work conditions’, which has now been exclusively revealed by The U.S. Sun.
Fighting the Legal Battle
The non-profit organization is contesting a lawsuit filed almost four years ago by Eswin Rolando Bulux Yac, also known as ‘Bulux’, who has now sought a judgment lien for $246,377 against the charity’s property. The foundation, in turn, aims to dismiss the entire lawsuit and receive compensation for its legal fees and costs.
Lawsuit Allegations and Long-Standing Battle
Bulux alleged that he was hired full-time at the rate of $12.50 an hour without receiving proper meal or rest breaks due to the constant pressure amidst the cleaning services. Furthermore, he claims that the non-profit failed to provide accurate wage statements and retaliated against him for whistleblowing on non-payment and intolerable work conditions, leading to his forced resignation.
The Property Lien Controversy
Notably, TVDF has raised disputes over Bulux’s culpability and appropriate action procedures, highlighting his alleged negligence and consent in part. This comes in the wake of previous lawsuits hitting the charity involving claims of sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and negligence leading to litigation and settlements.
Lingering Legal Battles and Foundation’s Response
As the legal dispute continues, TVDF faces an impending jury trial while navigating the shadow of past and present lawsuits, from property liens to workplace intolerances and harassment claims.
The Vanerpump Dog Foundation, known for its relentless work in rehoming dogs, has found itself entangled in a protracted legal battle, raising questions about workplace ethics and employee welfare stretching over several years. The outcome of this lawsuit will certainly add a new chapter to the ongoing legal wrangle, and The U.S. Sun continues to monitor developments closely in this exclusive story.
