ST. LOUIS -- A growing list of contracted workers claim they are owed thousands of dollars by Jingle! holiday experience. DJ Brandon Shaw was excited to bring Jingle's winter wonderland to life.  "I pursue this as a side project to supplement my income," he stated.  But that extra money stopped coming in. Kansas City’s Genesis School losing charter Shaw claims Jingle still owes him $1,500. He is among many other individuals who were never paid in full. Another contracted performer, Allen Holston, is keeping a spreadsheet of workers and claims 50 people say they're due about $500,000. This list includes people who worked at the O’Fallon, Missouri, location and the Kansas City location.  "We realized that this problem was much larger than just ourselves," Holston said. "Some of these are contracting agencies that are committed to paying their people even if they don't get paid, and it's going to hurt them moving into 2025." Shaw’s booking agent told KTVI-TV that she provided 19 separate acts for Jingle! St. Louis for a total of $27,870. She claims Jingle! has only paid $7,455.  Oscars push back nominations announcement amid Calif. wildfires Jingle! declined KTVI’s request for an interview, but its bankruptcy attorney sent a letter to contractors saying "Jingle is exploring all options to get creditors paid." But it does not mention contracted workers.  "If the bankruptcy process gets triggered and we begin to put claims in, we know that we'll be at the bottom of the list as far as who gets paid, and that's very frustrating," Holston said.  In an email to workers earlier this month, Jingle's CEO Mark McKee said the company managing Jingle's revenue re-directed funds intended for payroll. He also said they have contacted the Kansas and Missouri Departments of Labor to ask for assistance. But Missouri's Department of Labor tells KTVI-TV that they have no record of that.   The letter from the bankruptcy law firm offered a different reseason for the issues. It said that a shipping port strike delayed Jingle’s flagship attraction, an ice skating trail, which created “insurmountable financial losses.”   Jingle's PR firm said, "We want to express our deepest regret that this situation arose in the first place."  But Shaw wants more answers.  "One of the dates that I played, the place was packed. I mean, it was packed. So where did all of that money go?" Shaw asked.  Jingle told its employees they would all be paid by the end of January. But no announcement has been made in terms of paying contracted workers.
