FLSA Class Action Issue

Tue, Nov 15, 2022 8:17 PM

A member is defending an FLSA case filed by a female former police officer who alleges that she was denied the opportunity to take breaks to pump, or express her breast milk in general or that the conditions offered were not sanitary. Counsel seeks to certify this as a class, and the court has asked the parties to agree on language for the Notice for Collective Action to be sent to individuals who may become part of the class.

Plaintiff has suggested "all female police officers" during a specific time period. The member believes this is too broad and they are hoping to speak with colleagues who may have litigated a similar issue. If you have experience with a similar matter, please let me know and I will put you in touch.
