The Soundgarden frontman and his wife Vicky hired Elia Mora to clean their house back in 2006 and everything seemed hunky dory, that is until the day after XMAS last year. Elia finished up for the day and went home.

According to Mora's lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- Vicky needed Elia to return to do more work, but Elia declined. Elia claims that's when Vicky went nuts on her, berating her with a barrage of insults and then firing her.

So get this. Elia now claims she worked 43 hours a week and never got overtime. She also says she never got uninterrupted 30-minute lunches, and she never got uninterrupted 10-minute rest periods.
