A cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys was paid just more than a quarter of what the team's mascot earned in 2016, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday (June 12), according to The Dallas Morning News.
The newspaper reports Erica Wilkins, who was a Cowboys cheerleader from 2014 through August 2017, claims that, when counting the total number of hours she worked in a week, she earned less than minimum wage, nor did she earn the standard 1.5 times that for overtime.
Wilkins seeks class-action status, The Dallas Morning News reports.
The lawsuit states Wilkins' earned $5,817.
