VANE BROTHERS LAWSUIT

Stamped Complaint – 13 Civ 8488_11-27-13

On November 27, 2013, Fitapelli & Schaffer, LLP filed a class action complaint in U.S. District Court on behalf of all Tankermen that work for Vane Line Bunkering, Inc., d/b/a Vane Brothers Company (“Vane Brothers”). This lawsuit seeks to recover damages for unpaid overtime pay. Tankermen at Vane Brothers frequently work in excess of 40 hours per workweek without ever receiving overtime pay. In that regard, it’s alleged that Vane Brothers misclassified Tankermen as exempt employees, denying them overtime pay at one and one-half their regular hourly wage rate.

We are seeking to represent all Tankermen that work or have worked for Vane Brothers within the past six years. Eligible employees should call us, (212) 300-0375, to discuss joining the case, as there is a running statute of limitations.
