The Judge Rejected The Lawsuit Filed By Chanel Store Staff.

It is understood that the transport department staff Cristian Luna, Anthony Hernandez and Javier Delgado initiated a class action lawsuit. Chanel They do not pay the overtime compensation they deserve, and the minimum wage that does not pay overtime according to federal and state laws.

Last December, Chanel store employees in Beverly Hills filed a lawsuit against the brand, accusing Chanel of not paying their overtime compensation. Now, a federal judge in California has decided that Chanel won the lawsuit.

As of this week, Gary Klausner, a federal judge in California, rejected the group action certification of these employees, thereby reducing the number of potential plaintiffs at least hundreds of people. In order to initiate class action, the plaintiff must prove that all potential litigation members have brought similar legal and practical problems, that is to say, other Chanel stores must have " Same situation The staff can do that.

According to previous data, Cristian Luna, Anthony Hernandez and Javier Delgado are all employees of Chanel's transportation department. Their salaries are between $14 and $17. They said that their normal working hours were from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., but due to unreasonable work arrangements, they often had to work overtime, but the company refused to pay them overtime.

For example, the company asked employees to complete the job placement and re labelling tasks in 30 minutes, but the staff reflected that it would take 30 minutes to fill the warehouse task, because each product had to be handled carefully to ensure that the transportation process would not damage the goods, which meant that the task time was very high, and the arrangement of the company was generally unreasonable.

In addition, the employees who appealed to the daily attendance also revealed that the company had asked them to continue working after they had punched daily attendance and did not allow them to punch in again to refuse to pay overtime. They also mentioned that the equipment was obsolete in the appeal document, and the punch card would give them four to five daily attendance, resulting in the daily attendance recorded.

Employee representative Cristian Luna said he had not enjoyed the right to take a lunch break since he entered Chanel in 2011. He had reflected the problem to Chanel headquarters in the United States. At that time, the company promptly processed and gave them the lunch break arrangement, but the arrangement was cancelled again after two weeks.

Last week, California federal judge Gary Klausner decided that Cristian Luna, Anthony Hernandez and Javier Delgado failed to provide evidence of wage offences other than themselves. Therefore, if other Chanel employees They are required to work overtime without adequate compensation or rest time, and they will have to appeal on their own.

The evidence provided by the plaintiff does not prove that they are unable to perform their duties, though they are forced to work overtime. In addition, Chanel asserted that the nationwide class action was not appropriate because the case was obviously very personalized, and the personal plaintiff's statement was not consistent with other stores' similar appeals.
