The Herb Chambers Companies is embroiled in a class action lawsuit claiming it owes hundreds of employees unpaid overtime and premium wages, even as it prepares for a $1.34 billion acquisition. The plaintiffs, represented by Attorney Robert Richardson, assert that the company is denying deserved compensation, despite the sale proceeds. The lawsuit, initiated in May 2020, could lead to significant financial repercussions for the company if the court rules in favor of the employees. The defense claims they are not responsible for the alleged wages owed to the finance managers involved.
"I'm perplexed by them digging in. The amount of money at stake here - likely seven figures - is a drop in a bucket for what they just sold all the dealerships for."
"If the court rules in favor of the plaintiffs, hundreds of other employees could also be eligible for lost compensation."
