CA bill would give NFL cheerleaders employee rights

UTSanDiego.com: Professional sports cheerleaders in California — including the Charger Girls — would gain employee rights and benefits under a bill introduced Thursday by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez.

Gonzalez, D-San Diego, said her bill, AB 202, would protect cheerleaders from workplace abuses, including unpaid overtime and being forced to spend significant personal funds on the job, by giving them rights equal to the team’s employees. The teams would have to treat cheerleaders as employees under California law.
