NEW YORK, N.Y., July 14, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Paul B. Maslo, an attorney with the national litigation firm Napoli Shkolnik PLLC, is representing the Plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") against Uber regarding the employment classification of drivers. Maslo just won a significant preliminary victory for the Plaintiffs. According to a New York Times article, a federal court in North Carolina conditionally certified the nationwide FLSA collective on July 12.
