0 3 News Mintz & Geftic, LLC, along with co-counsel, Jonathan Meyers of Meyers Fried-Grodin, obtained final approval from the New Jersey Superior Court in Middlesex County approving a $2.25 Million settlement of a wage and hour class action. Bryan Mintz, of New Jersey’s Mintz & Geftic Law Firm, brought the case on behalf of current and former delivery drivers of a food distribution company. The primary allegation in the class action lawsuit was that the food distributor failed to pay overtime wages. The food distributor vigorously denied that New Jersey’s Wage and Hour laws even applied to them or that they violated any laws. Mintz & Geftic successfully negotiated the settlement after a hard-fought legal battle that lasted 3.5 years. As of June 2018, over 260 current and former drivers have received their settlement checks.
