This is real look into it, i did.

Dear **:

This firm represents multiple Sam’s Club Fresh or Produce Assistant Managers (“AMs”) who have filed a lawsuit against Sam’s Club in Federal District Court in the United States District Court of New Jersey. This lawsuit is brought on behalf of the AMs that we represent and all other current and former AMs employed by Sam’s Club. The lawsuit claims that Sam’s Club improperly classified its AMs as exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), when in fact their work did not warrant them being classified as exempt. Plaintiffs’ claims are that Sam’s Club had its AMs doing primarily hourly tasks such as stocking, merchandising, packing freight, checking expiration dates, endcaps and other types of associate type tasks, while spending very little time managing.

The lawsuit alleges that Sam’s Club failed to pay its’ AMs overtime to which we believe they were legally entitled. If the Plaintiff is correct, Sam’s Club could be liable to current and former AMs for unpaid overtime wages for each hour worked more than 40 hours per week.

You are receiving this letter because your name and information was available from public information. We would like to speak with you as soon as possible about your experience at Sam’s Club as a Fresh or Produce Assistant Managers. Your cooperation is important to the success of the case. Please contact Charles Gershbaum or Joshua Cittadino at (212) 545-1199. You may also e-mail us at info@hgrlawyers.com, cgershbaum@hgrlawyers.com or jcittadino@hgrlawyers.com.

Sam’s Club denies any wrongdoing and contends that it did not violate the FLSA by failing to pay overtime to its AMs.

Please know that state law prohibits your employer from retaliating against you for engaging in litigation to enforce your rights under labor laws. We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards’

I signed on this lawsuit back in 2016 after someone from the law office contacted me. I’m curious to know what ever became of this lawsuit.

I’m sorry but moving from a state that was heavily unionized because of the automobile industry to one that is not I can tell you that unions aren’t all that like they used to be. Every contract term the ask for more money instead of other things to benefit the employees they represent and this will eventually bankrupt the company I have seen it and the unions aren’t without corruption so many of them are in bed with the companies it’s not even funny. Unions have out lived their usefulness.

It also prohibits employers from retaliating if workers talk about forming a union. Try that and see how fast Sams or Wal-mart finds a way to terminate you. All mgrs at Sams has to actually do physical work . The payroll budget is a joke and people call in everyday. I wish mgrs punched a clock and was actually paid overtime on any hours over 40. Most managers has 40 hours in at 3 days. Unlike hourly associates managers lose all there PTO time if not used by the end of the year. I know 3 mgrs in my club that are losing at least 10 days because they couldnt take them off for lack of coverage. Mgrs are suppose to keep there mouths shut and not voice there opinion on anything and most do. CM are terrified of losing there jobs so they don't speak up.
