Former AT&T employee files class action lawsuit over wages

WHEELING - A former AT&T Mobility Services employee has filed a class action lawsuit after allegedly not being paid all wages and benefits due.

Kimberly Brooks, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a class action lawsuit Dec. 16 in the Circuit Court of Ohio County against AT&T Mobility Services LLC, citing the West Virginia Wage Payment and Collection Act.

The plaintiff alleges she was employed by the defendant until Oct. 29, and the defendant employed other class members from 2008 to 2013. The complaint states the defendant discharged the plaintiff and other class members and did not pay all wages and benefits due.

The plaintiff is seeking the court to certify the civil action as a class action; designate the plaintiff as representative; appoint Schrader, Byrd & Companion PLLC as class counsel; find that the defendant did not pay the plaintiff and class members their wages and benefits due; and award damages to the plaintiff and class members not exceeding $75,000 each. Brooks is being represented by Frank X. Duff and Sandra K. Law of Schrader, Byrd & Companion PLLC.
