Lawsuit Granted Class Action Status
A 2007 lawsuit that alleges ATT violated state and federal wage and hour provisions was granted class action status on Friday by U.S. District Court Judge Janet Hall. The approval of class action status means that as many as 200 ATT employees could become a party to the lawsuit. Hall’s ruling came one week after hearing arguments by attorneys representing five current and former ATT employees who claim the company gave them manager titles in order to avoid having to pay them overtime. The lawsuit contends that despite being designated as managers, the plaintiffs weren’t given the responsibilities or duties consistent with a managerial position.
