The 4th Annual Workplace Class Action report from Seyfarth Shaw shows the volume of wage and hour class action continues to grow exponentially.  As the report’s editor says, “identifying, addressing, and remediating class action vulnerabilities” should be at the top of every employer’s list of 2008 priorities.
