AT&T at-home call center employeed file class action lawsuit

Posted on July 20th, 2011 No Comments

A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the AT&T at home virtual call center employees that claim that they were mislabeled as independent contractors so that the company could get around California’s wage and hour laws.

In the California Labor Code, the minimum wage rules, overtime laws and lunch break requirements do not stand for independent contractors.

This complaint alleges that AT&T created a scheme to mislabel these at-home workers so that they could avoid paying state and federal taxes as well as worker’s compensation benefits. The at-home call center employees provide technical support for AT&T customers.

Lawsuit filed against GM seeks class-action status

Posted on July 7th, 2011 No Comments

A Pennsylvania woman recently filed a lawsuit against General Motors Co. which alleges that the company failed to inform consumers of a problem with their 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Impalas.  The lawsuit also accuses GM of breech of warranty.

In addition, the lawsuit, which seeks class-action status, states that the automobile manufacturer fixed the problem on approximately 24,000 Impalas used by police departments, but not those bought by civilians.

 The woman suggests that GM should repair the problem on all 423,000 Impalas sold by the company to civilian drivers.

The 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Impalas were found to have defective spindle rods that misalign the vehicles’ wheels and causes increased wear on the back tires.  According to the lawsuit, GM was aware of the defect and instructed dealers to fix the defect on police vehicles and reimburse police departments for rear tires that had already been replaced.

Sony Online Entertainment along with LucasArts have announced that the game, Star Wars Galaxies MMORPG, will be shut down in mid-December due to multiple issues.

These issues include the end of the licensing agreement, competing with other MMORPG’s and other declining subscriptions. This announcement angered many subscribers and nearly 2,500 of them have signed a petition.

This petition offers options that will keep the MMORPG alive.  The first change would be to make the game free to play and allow some content available for purchase. Officials have also stated that this petition is not enough and some SWG users are joining together in order to file a class action lawsuit.

The lawsuit was filed to prevent the company from shutting down the game, but the company had an end-user license agreement that all users had to sign before playing.

Wal-Mart class action ruling may change lawsuits against corporations

Posted on June 21st, 2011 No Comments

A Supreme Court ruling on a W

al-Mart class action filed by employees that stated that the corporation treated workers unfairly has ended with the court stating that the group of employees was too large to sue for a discrimination class action lawsuit.

According to the 5-4 decision, Wal-Mart may be too massive to sue. This decision has possibly ended what would have been the largest gender biased class action lawsuit in history.

This class action lawsuit covered more than 1.6 million women who worked or used to work at Wal-Mart and they were fighting for wage equity and chances to move up the management ladder. The court found that there was not enough evidence to prove that Wal-Mart had a standard of evaluation for its workers at each of its 4,000 stores.

If you or a loved one has been treated unfairly and you would like to join with others in the same position to speak out, contact the class action labor and employment lawyers of Feazell & Tighe, LLP by calling 877-508-0588 today.

School involved in class action lawsuit

Posted on June 14th, 2011 No Comments

The Richmond School of Health and Technology has recently been involved in a class action lawsuit. The school has two campuses in the Richmond area.

The class action lawsuit alleges that the school is a “sham” and that its only goal is to make money and it does not properly prepare students for careers in the chosen fields or for their licensing examinations.

The civil rights lawsuit claims that the school looks for minorities in order to collect loans from the federal government, but the students are enlisted to programs that are not helpful.
