The popular game show "The Price Is Right" is famous for having contestants guess the prices of items to win cash and other prizes.

Showrunners recently received a class action complaint from their workers, claiming the production has violated several labor codes. Their grievances included failure to pay wages and overworking team members without adequate rest and compensation.

In legal documents obtained by The Blast, Wallaine Sarao filed the lawsuit for herself and other workers in similar situations at the Superior Court of California County.

She dropped ten severe complaints against Fremantle Television production company, Entertainment Partners Enterprise, and The Price Is Right Productions, Inc.

As stated, the class action lawsuit accused the game show's production heads of violating several labor codes. The complaints claimed the parties had failed to pay their wages, including minimum and overtime wages.

The failure to timely create accurate itemized wage statements, maintain accurate records, and timely pay wages during employment violated labor code sections 226(a), 210, and 204 per the document. Excluding the withheld salaries, showrunners were also accused of terrible working conditions.

Sarao noted the production companies failed to provide their workers with meal and rest periods. They allegedly did not reimburse business expenses or pay sick leave, and they also violated business and professional codes.

It is unclear what the defendant is asking for in damages; however, she demanded a jury trial. The class action complaint against "The Price Is Right" production heads comes at the heels of the game show's installment in Chicago.
