Jay Z is facing another lawsuit from employees of his 40/40 sports bar in Manhattan. Jay Z is listed as the “owner” of the 40/40 franchise until the lawsuits start pouring in – then he conveniently becomes just an investor.
Anyway, a class action lawsuit was filed today in a Manhattan court by 40/40 employees who say they are being forced to work under Third World conditions at the sports bar.
Employees of the Manhattan sports bar say that in addition to not paying them hourly wages, Jay Z forced them to work for tips from customers. The employees further state that their pay was docked for breakage, spillage and “walk outs”.
Former employees have also complained of intolerable working conditions such as no AC in the Summer and no heat in the Winter in an effort to cut costs during the hours when the bar is not open to the public.
