McLaughlin and Stern Files Class Action Lawsuit Against Int’l Restaurant, Pret A Manger

Tue 23 August 2011 Press Releases

New York, NY — A class action lawsuit has been filed against Pret A Manger (“Pret”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, case number 1:11-cv-05677-BSJ, alleging that the international restaurant chain violated both federal labor laws and New York labor laws by routinely requiring managers in training to work in excess of forty hours in a week without proper overtime compensation.

The suit alleges that Pret regularly requires its managers in training to work shifts and schedules that result in workweeks of between 40 and 65 hours, but does not properly compensate them with overtime pay. By bringing this suit, the attorneys listed below hope to end that practice and recover the wages and overtime pay each manager in training is due under the law.

If you work or have worked at a Pret restaurant in the state of New York and served as a manager in training, you may request to be included in the proposed class. Please contact McLaughlin & Stern, LLP or the Law Firm of Louis Ginsberg, PC, for any questions you have about the action.
