72 F. Supp. 986 | S.D.N.Y. | 1947
This is a typical action by maintenance employees for overtime compensation, liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees under the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 201 et seq.
The action was commenced on December 27, 1946, by service of a summons and complaint, and the time of the defendant American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corporation to answer has been extended from time to time by stipulation.
The defendant American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corporation makes no contention that the complaint is insufficient under the Fair Labor Standards Act as it existed prior to the enactment of the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947 on May 14, 1947, 29 U.S.C.A. § 251 et seq., but it insists that the complaint is now defective because it does not allege facts sufficient
With respect to the other relief requested, the order may provide that any claimants not already listed in the complaint may apply to intervene on or before October 1, 1947, and that all claimants file written consents to become parties with the Clerk of the Court on or before October 1, 1947.
The motion of the defendant American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corporation to dismiss the complaint is denied, and the motion for other relief is also denied except to the extent above indicated.
