Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Class Action Lawsuits
I was recently notified that an employer which I used to work for was sued for violating labor laws as it pertained to overtime and meal and rest period violations along with failure to pay compensation at termination of employment. They are now goin to settle out of court for a sizable amount. My question is I moved to another job which is the same exact type of job title and same job duties and they did the same things as my previous employer, do I have a case to start a class action suit against the new employer based on the info from the previous suit?

Re: Class Action Lawsuits
A number of factors go into a possible class action lawsuit including without limitation, numerosity, typicality, commonality and adequacy of representation.
The best thing for you to do is pose your specific question with an "EMPLOYEE CLASS ACTIONS" law firm experienced in California and/or Federal labor and employment law. You should find the class action law office that provides a FREE Initial Consultation.

Simply because you have the same title at a new employer does not mean that a class action would be successful. An attorney would need to examine the duties performed by all persons in that job title, as well as several other factors.
Our office has handled and continues to handle many of these cases. We would be happy to provide a free consultation to provide you with information as to all alternatives so that you may decide how you may wish to proceed.

Sounds like it, but that is based on your claim of facts. The only way you'll know is to consult with counsel about all the facts. Feel free to contact me if serious about doing so.
