Alejandro Leon has filed a class action lawsuit against two major companies, alleging serious labor law violations. On October 21, 2024, Leon lodged the complaint in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, targeting ALKU, LLC and Medical Device Business Services, Inc., doing business as Johnson & Johnson MedTech.
The lawsuit accuses these companies of systematically failing to comply with several California Labor Code provisions. According to the complaint, Leon and other similarly situated employees were not paid minimum wages or overtime compensation for all hours worked. The plaintiff claims that these practices are part of a broader pattern where employees were denied proper meal and rest breaks and were not reimbursed for necessary business expenses. Additionally, it is alleged that upon termination, employees did not receive their final wages promptly as required by law.
Leon’s legal action seeks redress for these alleged infractions on behalf of himself and other affected workers employed by the defendants in California during the relevant statutory period. The plaintiff argues that the defendants’ conduct was willful and deliberate, leading to significant financial harm for the employees involved. "Defendants maintained a systematic company-wide policy," states the complaint, highlighting the pervasive nature of these alleged violations.
The legal team representing Alejandro Leon includes attorneys Seung L. Yang and Tiffany Hyun from The Sentinel Firm, APC. They argue that their client and other class members are entitled to recover unpaid wages along with interest and penalties as stipulated under various sections of the California Labor Code. Moreover, they seek injunctive relief to prevent future violations by these companies.
This case is presided over by Judge J. Nguyen under Case No.: 24CV450038 in Santa Clara County's Superior Court. The plaintiffs are pursuing multiple forms of relief including restitution for unpaid wages, penalties for labor code violations, attorney fees, costs incurred due to this litigation, and any additional relief deemed just by the court.
