What happened

This is a proposed class action against Berner Food & Beverage, LLC, apparently concerning wage-and-hour claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The docket text does not specify the exact alleged violations, but the nature of suit and joint status reports suggest claims on behalf of employees. The parties have reported a settlement in principle, but the allegations are unproven and the case has not yet been finally dismissed.

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.
