On August 8, 2021, Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP filed a class action against Endeavor Air, Inc., a regional airline, for unpaid wages. This lawsuit represents similarly situated current and former manual workers under the New York Labor Law (“NYLL”) to recover untimely wages. Manual Workers for Endeavor Air have alleged the airline paid them on a bi-weekly basis instead of a weekly basis as required for manual workers under the NYLL. Affected workers may include all current and former Manual Workers who worked for Endeavor Air since June 12, 2024 who were paid on a bi-weekly basis, including positions such as flight attendants, ramp agents, cargo workers, inspectors, maintenance technicians, and baggage handlers.
The lawsuit, which was filed in New York federal court, specifically alleged that due Endeavor Air failed to pay Manual Workers on a bi-weekly basis, as required by the NYLL. Due to Endeavor Air’s failure, Manual Workers allege they are owed liquidated damages equal to their late wages. The class action lawsuit seeks to recover those liquidated damages.
If you work for Endeavor or a similar company in the airline industry, make sure you are getting paid for all of your hours worked and at the correct rate, on a weekly basis. Unfortunately, this industry is notorious for skirting wage laws in order to save on labor costs.
