The case is looking for unpaid wages, overtime compensation, damages losses, lawyers’ fees, and discrimination relief to prevent future violations.
Westfield, NJ – McLAFLAN & STRINE, LLP announced that it had filed a class action case in the United States District Court for New Jersey District by the current and former United Airlines flight attendant working in New Jersey. The complaint alleges that United Airlines has failed to pay the flight attendant for all hours, including overtime pay, and engaged in wage violations.
The complaint states that the United Nations will only compensate the flight attendant for the “original” flight time, which is defined as the period between the aircraft’s door closure and the opening of the door at the time of departure. This exercise has not excluded a number of necessary duties that should be performed by the flight attendees, including checking before flight, removing boarding and passengers, holding safety checks, waiting during the holidays, and helping travelers out of the tight “flight time” window.
Failing to calculate these hours, the complaint alleges that United have deprived millions of dollars of wages and overtime compensation in violation of New Jersey’s wages and hourly rules.
“This is about to ensure that flight attendants, who are the backbone of passengers’ safety and customer service, are paid fairly for all the tasks they perform,” Brett R. Galve, partner of MacLefflen and Stron, said. “United Airlines has made a lot of profit that its flight attendant refuses to pay for several hours of work, which is needed and is controlled by the company. We look forward to getting justice for our client and its representation class.”
The case, which has been brought in by more than a thousand United Flight Attendant from the designated plaintiffs Ava Lare and the New Delhi Liberty International Airport, is unpaid wages to prevent future violations, overtime compensation, disconnected, disconnected, disconnected and disconnected.
