Seyfarth’s annual Workplace Class Action Report
was referenced in "Workplace lawsuits could rise under Trump,
but Supreme Court still a wild card," a January 20 story by
the Chicago Tribune. Authored by Gerald Maatman, this
year’s report said that the value of the top 10 wage-and-hour
class-action settlements surged to $695.5 million last year, from
$436.6 million in 2015 and $215.3 million the year before. Maatman
said that federal wage-and-hour lawsuit filings ticked down last
year for the first time after rising steadily for 15 years, but
that appears to be an aberration.
