A Memphis lawyer will help defend an estimated 75,000 employees of Lowe's Home Centers after their legal claims against their retail employer were certified as a class action lawsuit last week.
U.S. District Court Judge Carlos Murguia certified a class action concerning at least 75,000 employees of Lowe's last Friday.
Memphis attorney Alan Crone of Crone & Mason PLC will help defend the plaintiffs, who will be represented by five law firms from across the nation. In addition to Crone & Mason, the plaintiffs will be represented by attorneys with Dolin, Thomas & Solomon LLP of Rochester, N.Y.; The Popham Law Firm PC of Kansas City, Mo.; the Law Office of Thomas H. Brill of Mission Hills, Kan.; and the Law Office of Michael F. Brady of Overland Park, Kan.
The employees are seeking to recover unpaid overtime compensation they claim is due, citing section 216(b) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. In an earlier hearing, Lowe's officials indicated that the case could represent as many as 75,000 of its specialists across the country, excluding the West Coast.
