As to the Settlement:
1. The class period pled in the operative Second Amended Complaint (2AC) begins four years prior to filing, or April 8, 2020. The class period in the agreement begins on January 19, 2022. What is the reason for this discrepancy? Does this settlement provide anything for class members who worked between April 8, 2020 and January 19, 2022? The UCL-based statute of limitations has run on their claims by now.
2. The pre-filing letter to the LWDA was sent on April 8, 2024. The PAGA period in the agreement begins on July 12, 2023. What is the reason for this discrepancy? Does this settlement provide any penalties for Labor Code violations occurring between April 8, 2023 and July 12, 2023?
3. There are separate aggrieved employee groups for employees of Avon and employees of Volt who worked at Avon’s facility. The settlement class, however, consists exclusively of Avon employees. Why are Volt employees excluded from the settlement class when they have always been part of the class as pled, and when the settlement includes them as aggrieved employees?
4. Please provide copies of Plaintiff’s pre-filing letter to the LWDA and all amended letters.
5. Are there any other actions, whether individual, class, or PAGA (including in the pre-filing LWDA stage) that may be affected by this settlement?
