The LA Times (here) reportst that two leading civil rights litigators are joining forces to help push a class-action lawsuit against a major national construction firm that allegedly has shortchanged more than 1,000 mostly Latino workers in California out of millions of dollars in pay. In what is believed to be one of the state’s largest class actions involving wage claims by Latino workers, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund and civil rights lawyer Bill Lann Lee will join the lawsuit, which was first filed in October by the Westlake Village firm of Sullivan Taketa against Masco Contractor Services Inc. and its California subsidiary Schmid Insulation Contractors Inc.
