RNZ – 29/08/2022
Six former Gloriavale women who claim they lived in slave-like conditions and worked under a regime of total control will have their case heard by the Employment Court from today.
Serenity Pilgrim, Anna Courage, Rose Standtrue, Crystal Loyal, Pearl Valor and Virginia Courage contend they were employees not volunteers at the reclusive Christian community on the South Island’s West Coast.
The hearing before chief judge Christina Inglis is set down for four weeks, with 20 witnesses expected to give evidence for the plaintiffs.
