Lawyers
Predict a Large Increase in Worker Class Actions Over COVID-19 |
|
As
unemployment rises and an increasing number of workers raise safety
concerns
over the coronavirus, lawyers in the class action bar predict that the
largest
group of class actions filed over the COVID-19 outbreak is likely to
come from
employees.
Among the allegations: employers denied wages, discriminated during
layoffs,
or put workers in unsafe conditions. So far, employees for the
government, a
hand bell factory and a hair salon have filed class actions, and lawyers
predict many more to come, as millions of people file for unemployment
claims.
