CLASS ACTION CERTIFICATION FOR EMPLOYEES ALLEGING DEFENDANT’S FAILURE TO PAY THE PREVAILING WAGE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DENIED (FOURTH DEPT).

The Fourth Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined class certification under CPLR 901 for employees alleging defendant did not pay prevailing wages required by article I, § 17 of the New York Constitution and section 220 (3) of the Labor Law:

… [T]he court erred in determining that plaintiffs failed to establish the first and second CPLR 901 prerequisites, numerosity and commonality. Plaintiffs established the numerosity prerequisite by submitting evidence of approximately 350 class members at a minimum … . Plaintiffs established the commonality prerequisite because one common legal issue dominates the claims of all putative class members, i.e., whether similarly situated employees who worked on public projects were deprived of the prevailing wages to which they were entitled… . Contrary to defendant’s contention, the fact that the amount of damages will vary among the putative class members does not prevent this lawsuit from going forward as a class action … . Vandee v Suit-Kote Corp., 2018 NY Slip Op 04456, Fourth Dept 6-15-18
