A prominent Manhattan lawyer claims that he was booted from the high-end spin studio chain SoulCycle for representing a former employee in a lawsuit over unpaid wages. Attorney Douglas Wigdor has filed a lawsuit of his own against SoulCycle accusing the owners of the exclusive fitness studios of making an example out of him to dissuade other workers from taking legal action against them. It all started when Wigdor, a former law partner of Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson, took on a wage-theft class action lawsuit in May 2013 on behalf of former SoulCycle spin instructor Nick Oram.
