MI PUEBLO CLASS ACTION

Gomez et al. v. Mi Pueblo San Jose, Inc., et al.

Superior Court of California, County of Alameda

Case Number: RG 07354914

EN ESPAÑOL

On April 17, 2008, Plaintiffs Lorena Gómez and Anielka Rodríguez filed a First Amended Complaint in the Superior Court for the County of Alameda ("Court") to allege a class action in which they claimed that Defendant Mi Pueblo had, among other things, improperly required and made paycheck deductions for work-related uniforms, tools, and/or equipment.

Defendant Mi Pueblo denied all liability for such claims. Plaintiffs and Defendant met with an experienced mediator and reached a settlement after extensive negotiations. The Court has made no ruling on the merits of Plaintiffs' claims or Defendant's defenses.

Plaintiffs have filed a motion asking the Court to grant its preliminary approval to the settlement. More information will be posted here as it becomes available. If you have any questions, please contact Donn Taketa or Joel Villaseñor, or review the case documents listed below:
