Collective Action Against Group O
On November 12, 2013, Northern District of Illinois Court ordered Group O, Inc. to post a Notice in Caterpillar’s Joliet, Illinois Plant advising its employees of an overtime and wage violation lawsuit brought by some of Group O’s employees represented by the law firm of Asonye and Associates. The complaint alleges that Group O, Inc. failed to compensate employees for time worked during lunch periods and for time worked but left off of the employees’ time records due to Group O’s practice of rounding employees’ swipe-in and swipe-out times. Eligible current and former employees can join the collective action by filling out and submitting the consent form to Asonye and Associates which can be found on the following website: http://groupolawsuit.com/
