    The powerful former RadiumOne CEO Gurbaksh Chahal supposedly promised Khabib Lutfiyev (the former limo driver) that he would pay him $7000 a month plus rent to become his driver back in 2012. Mr. Lutfiyev stated that he worked almost 3 months and did not get paid. Mr. Lutfiyev also stated that a house was prepared and paid for him and his family in Brisbane, but that was the only compensation he received.

    Chahal was in the top of the headlines in 2014 due to a domestic violence case with his girlfriend at the time which was caught on camera.

In 2014, Mr. Chahal even stopped paying for Mr. Lutfiyev’s rental at which his family ended up being kicked out of. Mr. Lutfiyev lost many belongings due to the situation and was forced to move to Dayton, Ohio. Thank goodness Legal Aid came to his rescue and just this month Mr. Chahal was ordered to pay Mr. Lutfiyev $480,000, including overtime and double time.

  • 3 Female Chauffeurs Get Awarded $130K Each!

    In this day and age females can do just as much as men can do and some fail to realize that it is illegal to discriminate against one for the gender. Well obviously some companies did not get thatfemale_driver memo and it cost them a pretty penny!

    Three chauffeurs, Gretchen Cooper, Barbara Herold and Lisa Boutelle filed suit in Minneapolis in 2012 for gender discrimination after being “let go” from their chauffeur jobs because a Saudi prince (Prince Abdul-Rahman bin Abdul-Aziz) wanted only male drivers. These women were among the 40 hired drivers to transport the prince and his entourage around. The Saudi prince was here being treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It was said that his entourage told the company that the prince only wanted male drivers. In his country, women are band from driving.

    gravel_image2 of the 3 companies involved have settled with the woman. The women received $100,000 each for mental anguish and suffering under the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Judge Erickson doubled the $15,000 that each woman sought for wage loss, to $30,000, but did not grant punitive damages, saying that while the defendants may have acted unlawfully, the women bringing the lawsuit had not shown they acted with “deliberate disregard or malice.”

    Well we hope that the lesson has been learned for all those visiting this great Country of America that we are all equal.

    Here is just one of the companies effected by the launch of Uber in 2012. On Friday, San Francisco’s Yellow Cab cooperative filed for bankruptcy protection. One would assume that the Yellow Cab’s financial struggles came from a personal-injury damage award rather than a fight for business with Uber but court documents state otherwise.
