LEMONGRASS GRILL LAWSUIT

Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP filed a class action lawsuit today in the Eastern District of New York against Lemongrass Grill, which operated Thai restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan. We allege that Lemongrass failed to pay waiters any wages for a period of many years. This is a common violation in the restaurant industry- even if employees receive tips, they still must be paid proper minimum wage and overtime.
