- Issue: Overtime pay violation
LaMarca v. A&P
Lieff Cabraser, along with co-counsel, represented approximately 870 current and former employees of New York area supermarkets suing under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Opt-In Plaintiffs in the certified collective action sought unpaid overtime compensation resulting from Defendants’ alleged failure to compensate employees for work performed “off-the-clock.”
In May 2004, the Court approved a settlement providing $3.11 million to the Opt-In Plaintiffs. In June 2004, current and former full-time hourly employees of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company filed a new lawsuit against defendants in New York state court. The plaintiffs allege that defendants systematically failed to pay overtime wages and deleted hours worked from time records in violation of New York labor law.
In July 2007, the Court certified the class of thousands of cashiers, clerks, bakers, deli and other hourly-paid workers. The order granting certification was affirmed on appeal.
