Gonzalez, et al. v. Golden Gate Bell

You may be eligible to receive money from a proposed Settlement involving current and former employees of Golden Gate Bell, LLC (“GGB”). The settlement resolves lawsuits brought by former GGB employees Maurice Frank, Ethan Collins, and Robert Anthony Gonzalez (“Plaintiffs”). The proposed Settlement covers individuals who worked for GGB in California as an hourly employee between July 18, 2014, and November 1, 2022 (“Class Period”).

The Action being settled accuses GGB of violating California employment laws. Based on the same claims, Plaintiffs have also asserted a claim for civil penalties under the California Private Attorneys General Act (Labor Code §§ 2698, et seq.) (“PAGA”). GGB disputes Plaintiffs’ accusations and strongly denies violating any laws or failing to pay any wages and contends it complied with all applicable laws.

If you do nothing, you will receive a payment and you will give up your right to assert the claims against GGB that are covered by this Settlement (Released Claims).
