Steffans Legal Files Wage and Hour Class Action on Behalf of Nike and Converse Retail Employees
On May 28, 2021, Steffans Legal filed a wage-and-hour class action in Oregon Federal Court against Nike, Inc., Nike Retail Services, Inc., and Converse, Inc. regarding unpaid wages. Steffans Legal is partnering with Sommers Schwartz, P.C. on this matter. In this case, we allege that these employers violate state law by not compensating employees for time spent waiting in security lines to have their bags checked before leaving the workplace for breaks and at the end of their shift.
