Collective Action To Correct Workplace Abuses

Protecting a Range of Employee Rights
A range of employment issues are sometimes persistent throughout a particular employer and can be addressed through an employee class action, including:
- Employment discrimination
- Sexual harassment
- Minimum wage violations
- Overtime violations
- Wrongful termination
If a single issue affects multiple employees and can be traced back to a single cause, a class action may be the best way to rectify the situation.
There are several benefits to employee class actions. A large number of employees can have their rights vindicated through a single lawsuit, and the attorneys bringing the suit can often devote greater resources to investigating the evidence.
Different Standards for Employment Discrimination
In the area of employment discrimination, a class action may offer the opportunity to demonstrate discrimination that would be difficult to prove in cases brought by each individual employee.
While an individual employment discrimination lawsuit needs to prove that there was a specific adverse employment action against that employee that was motivated by discrimination, a class action can proceed on the basis of evidence of systematic denial of opportunity.
If you believe your workplace has committed systematic discrimination against employees, we can help you explore the possibility of a class action.
