What happened

A proposed class action against The Athletic Media Company and apparently The New York Times Company. The available docket text does not detail the specific allegations, but it indicates the plaintiffs are pursuing statutory claims and the parties are disputing arbitration, with defendants seeking to compel arbitration and plaintiffs seeking to stay proceedings pending arbitration. The nature of suit is 'Other Statutory Actions.'

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.
