Nichols Kaster, PLLP, mailed notice of this lawsuit to over 1500 installers who worked for C-COR and/or Source on June 1, 2009. Since then, the case has grown significantly with dozens of people joining weekly.
On June 11, 2009 the District Court of Minnesota conditionally certified a class of drivers who allege that CUSA ES, LLC and CUSA, LLC ("Coach America") failed to pay them overtime as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Good News! On June 2, 2009, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement. The notice of the settlement was mailed today to all those who opted in to the lawsuit, as well as to the class members of the lawsuit. You must respond to the notice by July 23, 2009 in order to take part in the settlement. There will be a hearing on September 21, 2009 for final settlement approval. If we receive approval at this time, we will be mailing the settlement checks to you in late October, 2009. Thank you for your patience during this process. Please contact Ryan Kopischke at (877) 448-0492 ext. 269 or rkopischke@nka.com with questions.
On May 18, 2009 we filed a Complaint in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Michigan against Michigan Bell Telephone Company on behalf of Outside Plant Engineers (aka Manager, Outside Plant Planning Engineering and Design). These Outside Plant Engineers seek overtime compensation under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and Michigan state law. For more information about the case, click here.
On May 5, 2009, the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled that employees working for an apartment locator company, Promove, LLC, were misclassified as exempt and should have been paid overtime. NKA is currently awaiting a trial date to determine how much overtime pay their clients will receive as a result.
In granting Plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification, the court held that notice should be sent to all individuals across the country who were, or are, employed by Source Broadband or C-COR as installers after February 12, 2005. The court ordered Defendants to disclose contact information for members of the conditionally certified class within the next 30 days.
We are excited to announce that on April 10, 2009, we sent notice of the case to thousands of current and former employees who worked for Solectron Corporation, Flextronics International, and/or Aerotek. If you are interested in joining the case you must return a consent form on or before July 9, 2009.
Notice of this lawsuit will be sent to customer service representatives working in AT&T, Corp.'s Fairhaven, Massachusetts; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Lee's Summit, Missouri and El Paso, Texas call centers for the last three years.
