YANKEE STADIUM WORKERS' LAWSUIT

Fitapelli & Schaffer filed a class action lawsuit against Legends Hospitality and Volume Services, companies that provide food and beverage services in Yankee Stadium. The lawsuit alleges the companies retained the 20% service charge that is added for in-seat service. We allege that customers in the field-level seats are misled into believing the 20% mandatory service charge is a gratuity that goes to the workers. In fact, the employees do not receive any of the 20%. Service charge violations are common in the catering and banquet industries.

Fitapelli & Schaffer filed a class action lawsuit against KPMG in the Southern District of New York. We allege our client, who worked as an advisory associate, is entitled to overtime pay. We are seeking to have the case certified as a nationwide collective action and a New York class action. Current or former KPMG employees should contact us to join the case.

EL CONDE LAWSUIT

Fitapelli & Schaffer filed a lawsuit against El Conde Steakhouse in Manhattan for failing to pay minimum wage and overtime to tipped employees. We allege our clients were paid $30 per shift, regardless of the number of hours they worked. If someone worked at the restaurant in the past six years, they can join the case.
