A former Gloriavale woman has told a court how she hurt her back repeatedly lifting 20kg crates of meat above her head in the so-called Christian community's freezer.

Rebekah Kempf says she started work as a little girl and never refused as a teenager because she was terrified of what might happen. Jean Edwards reports from the Employment Court in Christchurch.
