Washington, Nov 14 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Jon Gosselin and the producers fight continues with some trick up each other’s sleeve. Jon Gosselin has now filed a counter lawsuit against the TLC network, claiming that the television producers violated Pennsylvania’s child labor laws in filming the hit reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ and are now preventing him from working independently.

The disgruntled Jon Gosselin has filed on the suit and he is seeking more than $5 million in damages. The suit was filed Thursday in Maryland’s Montgomery County Circuit Court which is in response to a network lawsuit alleging Gosselin failed to meet his obligations as an employee.

“I do not believe we were paid a fair amount for the overreaching and overly restrictive contract — my family was initially paid $2,000 per episode for all ten members of my family and the use of my family home for filming,” Gosselin wrote in a court filing. He went on to say he and his family accepted the deal because they were “in desperate need of revenue to meet the needs of our eight children.”

“I believe that this case will be the historic case … that will stand for the principle that the courts will not tolerate corporations, no matter how profitable, to take advantage in the workplace of infants,” Heller said.

TLC spokeswoman Laurie Goldberg said that the network won’t comment on legal matters.
