‘At first it was a matter of money. The Jills cheerleaders were compensated for corporate appearances only. Practices, games and charitable appearances were all unpaid, a point that is central to the lawsuits. The most immediate way to address the problem at hand would have been to start paying the cheerleaders minimum wage for all their work beginning with the 2014 season. It may not have made the litigation go away, though it would have been a constructive step. But Jills director Stephanie Mateczun and her company, Stejon Productions, apparently didn’t have the funding to do that.’
