Lopez v. 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. and 1-800-Flowers Team Services, Inc.Docket No.: 17-cv-05110

On August 30, 2017, Lead Plaintiff Lopez, on behalf of herself and those similarly situated, filed a class and collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York against 1-800-Flowers.com, Inc. and 1-800-Flowers Team Services, Inc. The complaint alleges as follows: Plaintiff worked for Defendants at their Carle Place, New York location as an analyst from April 8, 2013, until she resigned on August 8, 2017. Throughout her employment, 1-800-Flowers required Plaintiff to work, and Plaintiff did work, five days per week, starting her workday at approximately 9:00 a.m. and ending at approximately 6:00 p.m., while rarely providing her with an uninterrupted break during each workday. Thus, by approximation, 1-800-Flowers required Plaintiff to work, and Plaintiff did work, approximately forty-five hours per week. Each hour that Plaintiff, FLSA Plaintiffs, and Rule 23 Plaintiffs worked was for Defendants’ benefit. Defendants did not pay Plaintiff at any rate of pay for any hours that she worked in a week in excess of forty.
