We are happy to announce that these firms have recently designated FEP as recipient of several substantial cy pres awards (unclaimed moneys from class action settlements):
Fair Work P.C.
The Law Office of Nicholas F. Ortiz, P.C.
*************************************************
FEP has had several letters published in the New York Times and Boston Globe. Our most recent was a letter to the NYT with concerns about workers being required to sign waivers before returning to workplaces, especially when there were questions about safety: “Don’t Ask Returning Workers to Sign a Waiver”
This Boston Globe article quotes FEP in a piece about sexual harassment: “Sexual harassment allegations at Brookline Trader Joe’s spur campaign to change corporate culture”
*************************************************
We are proud to lend our support as amicus curiae (friend of the court) in cases of particular importance to workers. In 2020 we signed on as amicus in Rosario v. Caring Bees Healthcare. When Anais Rosario filed a lawsuit for sexual harassment, she was counter-sued her by the alleged harasser. The trial court denied Ms. Rosario’s motion to dismiss the counterclaims under the state Anti-SLAPP statute, which is meant to deter retaliatory lawsuits. FEP joined the Mass. Employment Lawyers Association and several other organizations to support Ms. Rosario’s successful appeal of that decision. Ms. Rosario was represented by Bennett & Belfort.
