Sarelson Law Firm has filed a putative class action lawsuit against Miami, Florida-based International Shipping Partners, Inc. for not paying employees proper wages and overtime. The lawsuit seeks class action status for all on-board employees who are not exempt seamen under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The word "seamen" has a very narrow and precise meaning in the law, so many employees who work on a ship, and even some who are called "seamen," are still entitled to overtime pay. ISP owns and manages ocean going vessels.
The lawsuit currently has four named plaintiffs and can be found here:
