CALIFORNIA COMPANIES SHORTCHANGING WORKERS: CLASS ACTIONS SUITS & HOW EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEYS HELP PROTECT WORKER’S RIGHTS
Large companies such as IBM, Starbucks, The DollarTree, and others have recently had large class action lawsuits filed against them for shortchanging their employees. Some have misclassified their workers in order to avoid paying overtime rates. Others have neglected to give meal and rest breaks, and even more have failed to give proper pay (whether it be in paychecks, overtime or tips) to their workers. In all of these cases, two or three employees sought out experienced employment attorneys who discovered that these practices were much more widespread than just the cases of these few workers.
A class action lawsuit allows a few workers to fight along side with their employment lawyers to protect the wages and labor standards of all employees of the company. Whether this is for time unpaid or for discriminatory practices based on racial discrimination, an experienced and successful employment lawyer can reclaim those wages and recover damages against an employer’s wrongful actions.
