Underpaid Workers File Class Action Lawsuit

Case ID: 4962

Category: Employment

Last Update: 12/27/2006

Country:

Workers at Giant Big Apple claim they work long hours for less than the legal minimum wage without overtime pay.

With the help of the Industrial Workers of the World and Make the Road By Walking, a Latino community organization and Make the Road, the workers filed a wage & hour complaint with the U. S. Department of Labor in fall of 2005.

As far as the workers know, this complaint has not resulted in any action by the DOL and they allege that their boss continues to violate State and federal wage laws. As a result, the workers consulted a labor attorney and filed a class action against Giant Big Apple on behalf of all present and former employees of the company.

Giant Big Apple employs approximately 19 workers. Seven current employees and nine former employees have joined the class-action lawsuit.

The lawsuit represents underpaid employees of Giant Big Apple.
