Panish Shea & Boyle LLP brings wage and hour class action against Mozza LLC and Mario Batali
Mario Batali accused by ex-employees of tip-stealing scheme at Pizzeria Mozza - Panish Shea & Boyle LLP represents a Mozza LLC employee and former employee in a class action lawsuit that alleges claims against Mozza LLC, and Mozza LLC partners Mario Batali and Joseph Bastianich for conversion, failure to provide adequate meal and rest periods, failure to pay all wages due at termination, and unfair business practices. The case stems from Mozza LLC’s illegal policy of deducting from employee tips an amount equal to five percent of all wine sales to fund the company’s “Wine Program.” California law prohibits the diversion of employee tips in this manner. The case also results from Mozza LLC’s practice of denying employees the opportunity to take rest and meal breaks as required by law. For more information about this case, please contact Jessie Kohler at 877-800-1700.
