The Bohemian Club and a payroll subcontractor have been dismissed from a wage-theft lawsuit filed last June, with a federal judge ruling that the private club that runs the annual Bohemian Grove events near Monte Rio doesn’t fit the legal definition of an employer. U.S. District Judge Areceli Martínez-Olguín said that the plaintiffs failed to establish joint employer liability against either the Bohemian Club or the payroll company Pomella. Anthony Gregg, Shawn Granger and Wallid Saad say they were paid less than minimum wage while working for Monastery Camp at Bohemian Grove, including during the all-male summer encampments that include heads of state and financial moguls. The judge did say they can amend their complaint to only list Monastery Camp as a defendant.
