A man formerly employed as a cook and dishwasher by Woodside, New York-based La Bamba Restaurant and its owning and operating company, Ecua Restaurant Inc., has filed a proposed collective action against the company and three individuals to recover allegedly unpaid wages. The plaintiff, employed by the defendants from November 2015 through May 2017, claims he often worked six or seven days per week, amassing as many as 88 hours per week during some periods of his employment, without being paid mandatory time-and-a-half hourly overtime or 10-hour-plus “spread-of-hours” premiums.
