Yoga Students Win $1.65 Million In Unpaid Wages Settlement
A group of Californian yoga students at CorePower Yoga recently won $1.65 million in a class action suit. These students agreed to perform a few hours of weekly part time work in exchange for free yoga classes. CorePower organized this barter program called “Yoga for Trade” (YFT). Through YFT, students worked shifts of 2-3 hours per week, cleaning and performing other project based work. Although customers receive free yoga classes in exchange for their work, The “YFT Cleaners” were unpaid.
