Court granted default judgment in favor of thirteen plaintiffs and the certified class against Vuzem Defendants and Eisenmann Corporation on wage and hour claims and human trafficking claims, after defendants failed to respond or defend. The court accepted all factual allegations as true and directed plaintiffs to file for attorneys' fees by August 15, 2025.
Court Summary: Maslic v. ISM Vuzem d.o.o.
What Happened
Thirteen workers and a larger group of affected employees sued their employer, ISM Vuzem d.o.o. and related company Eisenmann Corporation, claiming they were not paid fairly (wage theft) and were not given necessary accommodations at work. The workers also raised serious concerns about human trafficking practices.
What the Court Decided
The court sided completely with the workers. Because the employer failed to respond to the lawsuit or present any defense, the judge automatically ruled in favor of all thirteen named plaintiffs and the entire class of workers. The court treated all the workers' claims as proven true and now requires the employer to pay the workers' attorneys' fees, with a deadline of August 15, 2025.
Why This Matters
This ruling sends an important message: employers cannot ignore wage and hour lawsuits. When companies fail to defend themselves in court, judges can side entirely with workers. The decision also shows courts take human trafficking allegations seriously in employment cases.
