Denis Wilson, and Feabon Thomas v. ETS Services, Inc., Case No. 15-cv- 02994

On May 21, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs Denis Wilson and Feabon Thomas individually and on behalf of themselves and those similarly situated filed a class and collective action lawsuit in United States District Court – Eastern District of New York vs. ETS Services, Inc., Louison & Pancham Transportation Corp., Allied Airport Shuttle Service, Inc., Colette Stevens, and Albert Hoyte. Plaintiffs work/worked for Defendant, a group of three entities operating a single enterprise offering transportation and shuttle service, and their managers, as drivers collectively from July 15, 2008 through the present. They allege that they worked sixty to eighty-four hours per week throughout their employment. However, Defendants failed to pay them the proper minimum wage or compensate them at any rate of pay for hours worked in excess of forty, as the New York Labor Law, New York Compensation Codes Rules and Regulations, and the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act require. Defendants also failed to pay Plaintiffs one hour of additional pay – called spread of hours pay– at their minimum hourly wage on all days where Plaintiffs worked a shift lasting more than ten hours. In addition, Defendants did not reimburse Plaintiffs for the expense of purchasing their uniforms and indeed failed to Plaintiffs a weekly wage to maintain the uniforms. Defendants failed to furnish Plaintiffs with accurate wage statements on each payday, and with a proper wage notice at the time of Plaintiffs hire, as required by the New York Labor Law. Finally, Defendants unlawfully deducted wages from Plaintiffs wages in violation of New York Labor Law and New York Compensation Codes Rules.
