The companies and individuals that operate a Bronx, New York cellphone store are the defendants in a proposed collective action filed by three plaintiffs who allege they were not paid proper wages as mandated by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Along with the individual operators, the complaint lists the below business entities as defendants: 

• 2855 Powercell, Inc., doing business as 2855 3^rd Avenue;
• 2855 3^rd Avenue, Inc., doing business as 410 E. 149^th Street;
• 327 E. 149^th Street, Inc., doing business as 327 E. 149^th Street; and
• 508A Willis Avenue, Inc., doing business as 508 Willis Avenue.

According to the complaint, the three lead plaintiffs who filed the case worked roughly between 50 and 70 hours per week as salespeople and customer service representatives during various times between 2014 and 2017 without proper wages. Moreover, the plaintiffs say the defendants, until mid-2016, did not provide them with any method with which they could track their work time.
