Michael Jackson fined over Neverland labor miscuesNEVERLAND RANCHMarch 10, 2006The entrance to Neverland Ranch in a 2004 photograph.California officials have fined Michael Jackson nearly $170,000 and ordered employees at the pop star's Neverland Ranch to stop working, after finding that employees had not been paid since December and the ranch's workers' compensation coverage had been allowed to lapse.On Thursday, the California Department of Industrial Relations slapped a "stop order" on Neverland, which prohibits employees from going back to work until workers' compensation coverage is restored. It also fined Jackson $69,000 for the lapse.On Tuesday, the same agency sent a letter demanding that Jackson pay employees at least $306,000 in back wages by next week, as well as a fine of more than $100,000 for failing to pay wages.
I think almost everything we see has meaning. This reminds me of when Michael was accused of not paying his employees at Neverland in 2008.QuoteMichael Jackson fined over Neverland labor miscuesNEVERLAND RANCHMarch 10, 2006The entrance to Neverland Ranch in a 2004 photograph.California officials have fined Michael Jackson nearly $170,000 and ordered employees at the pop star's Neverland Ranch to stop working, after finding that employees had not been paid since December and the ranch's workers' compensation coverage had been allowed to lapse.On Thursday, the California Department of Industrial Relations slapped a "stop order" on Neverland, which prohibits employees from going back to work until workers' compensation coverage is restored.

Her grandsons were reportedly stuck in Europe after the private airline refused to take them home for non-payment. It took a whole month for this to come out?Blessings
