Workers at Madonna's Malawi charity are suing Madonna. They claim they were dismissed and their benefits not payed.
No word from the Madonna camp and I'm not sure this is going to go anywhere but, it's interesting seeing Madonna being sued over charity work.
Eight workers at Madonna's Malawi charity are suing the pop star for unfair dismissal and non-payment of their benefits, their lawyer said on Sunday.
The board of the charity, Raising Malawi, was sacked after abandoning plans to build a state of the art girls' school just outside the capital Lilongwe due to mismanagement, the New York Times newspaper reported on Saturday.
Madonna, who has adopted two children from Malawi, lent $11 million to the organization and is now on the board.
The workers' lawyer, Mzondi Chirambo, said Madonna had 14 days to respond to their concerns.
"Their employment was terminated by the trustees of Raising Malawi Academy for Girls ostensibly following the change of plan not to build the school as planned," Chirambo said.
"My clients are also being forced to sign a discriminatory termination agreement before they are paid their benefits."
I don't know; Madonna makes a name for herself in the United States. We are the country that allowed her to flourish and become a success. She moves to England, basically insulting our country and talking bad about our ex-president. Now, she adopts babies from Malawi and does charity work in that country. I don't know. I guess I'd like to see her helping some Americans. After all, if you're going to complain that the government here doesn't offer enough to it's citizens, why would you help others in different countries?
