SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 18 – The Bronx housing
development Parkchester has a
Department of Public Safety
and it is settling a class
action about not paying
overtime. But one of the
workers appeared to oppose it
- then asked to not be
named.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John G. Koeltl to his
credit suggested that the
settlement order should not
pay tribute to the class
action lawyers, who are in
line for one third of the
settlement, some $234,000.
When asked how much a class
member gets, there was no
answer.
The objector,
after being rebuffed, asked to
not be named in the order.
"She doesn't need
the publicity," her lawyer
said.
But she has
another public case against
Parkchester, "ANNAMARIE
HOLZKNECHT, Plaintiff, v.
PARKCHESTER PRESERVATION
MANAGEMENT LLC et al.,
Defendants. No. 19-cv-6006
(JGK)," here.
And that and this case
were public: Inner City Press
was as always reporting on
public proceedings.
As of this writing later on
June 18, the settlement had
not been approved.
The case is
Wedemire v. Parkchester
Department of Public Safety
LLC d/b/a Parkchester DPS LLC,
18-cv-211 (Koeltl).
