A Barnes & Noble cafe manager launched a proposed class action lawsuit in New York federal court on Tuesday alleging the bookstore giant classified managers as salaried employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act in order to avoid paying overtime, even though they perform a similar job function to nonexempt workers.
The case is Brown v. Barnes and Noble Inc., case number 1:16cv07333, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Brown is represented by Michael J. Palitz and Gregg I. Shavitz of Shavitz Law Group PA.
