Class action claims Sprint Nextel violated overtime labor laws
America’s number three mobile phone carrier Sprint Nextel failed to pay their retail store employees overtime wages.
Filed in the state of Illinois, the complaint alleges that Sprint avoided overtime payouts by failing to record the actual time their retail staff worked.
The class members are seeking back pay, damages, and legal fees.
According to Sprint’s spokesman Matthew Sullivan, “Sprint’s practices comply with federal and state law regarding payment of overtime wages. We are confident that the plaintiff in this case was paid accurately for the time worked.”
Representing the plaintiffs is the Progressive Law Group L.L.C., which has offices in Chicago and Madison.
The law firm also filed a class-action lawsuit against Sprint Nextel over text message charges.
