On February 8, 2021, we filed an overtime lawsuit in court against GlobalTranz Enterprises, LLC (“GlobalTranz”). Plaintiffs asserted claims on behalf of themselves and other similarly situated individuals, including Logistics Representatives, Inside Sales – Account Managers, Carrier Sales Representatives, Account Coordinators, LTL Representatives, or others in similar job titles (collectively, “Logistics Representatives”). The Complaint alleges that as of approximately April 2019, GlobalTranz misclassified its Logistics Representatives as exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (“FLSA”) overtime protections, and improperly denied them overtime pay.
We have since reached an agreement with GlobalTranz that Logistics Representatives who make a claim for overtime pay will not be required to go to court, but rather, can go through a process called arbitration. We are still accepting new claims for overtime pay from Logistics Representatives anywhere in the country who worked overtime hours for which they were not paid time-and-a-half.
Our firm is partnering with attorney Benjamin L. Davis of The Law Offices of Peter T. Nicholl in Baltimore, Maryland.

Plaintiffs filed a motion asking the Court to hold GlobalTranz to the settlement it reached. GlobalTranz has insisted on adding unfavorable terms to the settlement that courts routinely reject as counter to the public policy of the federal overtime law. We are waiting for a ruling from the Court.
