GSD has filed a lawsuit against Prime Protection Authority. The Named Plaintiff is a former armed security officer and brings this case against Prime Protection Authority, LLC (hereafter “Prime”) and Anthony Pierce (together “Defendants”). The lawsuit alleges that Prime violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay the Named Plaintiff and other security officers overtime wages. Getman, Sweeney & Dunn filed this case as a putative collective action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Defendants paid the Named Plaintiff and other security officers an hourly rate. The Named Plaintiff and the other security officers regularly worked in excess of 40 hours per week. Despite the long hours, Defendants did not pay the Named Plaintiff or the other security officers overtime wages for hours worked over 40 in a week. This case seeks to compel Defendants to pay the Named Plaintiff and other similarly situated security officers unpaid overtime wages under the FLSA, an additional and equal amount as liquidated damages, interest, and attorneys’ costs and fees.
