A group of former waiters brought a tip-pooling lawsuit against the Luby's chain of restaurants. Tip-pooling is not illegal under the labor laws, but in many cases managers and supervisors share in the tip pool, which is illegal.
The tip-sharing lawsuit became a collective action, which means that all similarly situated employees were allowed to join the lawsuit. Luby's tried to argue against the collective action, but since all the tipped employees were similarly situated, the federal judge denied the request.
Luby's was founded in 1947 in San Antonio. The company employs over 8,000 employees nationwide. Even big corporations have to follow the FLSA. Do not assume your employer knows and follows the wage and hour laws.
If you are a tipped employee, you may be in a similar situation. We've seen countless tipped employees, including waiters, servers and restaurant staff, who have been working for employers who violate the federal labor laws.
