What happened

A proposed class action against 38 MacDougal LLC d/b/a Shuka, apparently concerning alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act and/or New York labor laws, likely involving wage-and-hour practices for employees at the restaurant. The docket entries primarily reflect scheduling and a later dismissal without prejudice for failure to prosecute, so the specific allegations are not detailed. These are allegations in a putative class action, not proven facts or a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
