Former ‘Property Brothers’ Producer Will Pay a $2.5 Million Settlement With Reality TV Workers
Former Property Brothers producer Cineflix Media has settled a 2018 class-action lawsuit over claims freelancing Canadian factual and reality TV workers were denied proper pay, job security and benefits.
On Monday, IATSE and CWA Canada, a major media union, said they and law firm Cavaluzzo LLP had settled the lawsuit for $2.5 million after three years of negotiations. The suit was brought by Cavaluzzo LLP on behalf of hundreds of current and former workers hired by Cineflix Media and over claims they had been denied overtime and vacation pay and holiday premiums.
