Description

In December 2009, a plaintiffs firm filed collective actions against AT&T subsidiaries in Atlanta and San Francisco federal courts, seeking $1 billion in damages and back pay for approximately 5,000 current and former workers. The lawsuit alleges that the company misclassified first-level managers as exempt from overtime pay. [paragraph] Despite the huge potential liability, news of the case made barely a ripple in the employment law community, an indication that Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims seeking huge damages have become almost routine. In 2009, wage and hour litigation continued to outpace all other types of workplace class actions, according to Seyfarth Shaw's Sixth Annual Workplace Class Action Litigation Report, released in January. Collective actions under the FLSA out-numbered all other types of private employment class actions for the fourth straight year, and claims under state laws increased as well. The report predicted more of the same in 2010.
