A member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club claims he was unfairly dismissed from a Collingwood brothel and denied up to $600,000 in superannuation and entitlements in an unusual workplace dispute before the Federal Court.

But lawyers representing the Number 100 brothel on Johnston Street have accused Joe Larosa, a member of the Hells Angels Thomastown chapter, of extorting weekly payments of more than $1500.

The brothel, which promotes itself as "Melbourne's home of the happy ending", claims there was never any employment relationship with Mr Larosa and he should not be entitled to any compensation.

"The company was the subject of intimidation, harassment and threats from that individual so as to create the illusion of an employee and employer relationship. That behaviour first occurred in 2011 and continued into 2016", according to an affidavit filed by lawyers acting for the brothel owner.
