Hospitality behemoth Merivale has appointed a top human rights lawyer to investigate any allegations female staff at the exclusive Level 6 club were exploited.
The hire was prompted by Nine newspapers’ report on Tuesday that detailed allegations from multiple employees that the Level 6 penthouse – part of Merivale’s Ivy complex in Sydney – had a “toxic environment that exploited women, encouraged them to have sex with customers, perpetuated sexual harassment and facilitated frequent drug use”.
