Newshub – Gloriavale accused of ‘brainwashing’ residents into working in ‘scandalous’ conditions at Employment Court hearing
A former member of the secretive Gloriavale community says residents there are “brainwashed” from a young age with women expected to cook, clean and sew for long hours without taking breaks.
The allegations were made at an Employment Court hearing, where it’s being argued women there are employees – not volunteers as the leadership has claimed.
