Employment class action lawsuits help protect workers from unfair, discriminatory, or unlawful workplace practices. These cases often involve large groups of employees who have been affected by the same violations, such as improper wage deductions, discriminatory hiring practices, or privacy breaches. Common claims include illegal tobacco surcharges for smoking employees, job applications that ask for unlawful personal information, and employer mishandling of sensitive employee data. By holding employers accountable, these lawsuits help workers recover financial losses and push for fair and legal workplace policies.
