Settlement Reached in Wage Theft Case Against Abitino's Pizza
What Happened
Chavaloc Choror filed a lawsuit against Abitino's Pizza 49th Street Corp., claiming the restaurant failed to pay workers proper wages. This was a class action case, meaning multiple employees were affected by the same wage practices.
What the Court Decided
Rather than go to trial, both sides agreed to settle the dispute. The court approved this settlement and gave the parties until August 31, 2021, to finalize the agreement documents. The specific settlement terms and any payments were not publicly disclosed in this court record.
Why This Matters for Workers
This case demonstrates that workers can successfully challenge wage theft claims, even without going through a full trial. When employees band together in class actions, they gain stronger negotiating power. Settlements like this one send a message to employers that wage violations can result in legal consequences. If you suspect your employer isn't paying you fairly, documenting hours and consulting with an employment attorney may help protect your rights.
