Argo Marketing faces lawsuit from ex-workers
Lewiston-based Argo Marketing Group is facing a lawsuit from six former workers over allegations that they weren’t paid for overtime.
The Sun Journal reported that the lawsuit was filed last year in U.S. District Court in Portland. The former workers allege that the call center violated the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the Maine Employment Practices Act and Maine Minimum Wage and Overtime Law by not paying them for preparation time, training activities, bathroom breaks and rest periods.
U.S. District Judge John A. Woodcock Jr. last week denied “motions to dismiss the FLSA personal liability claims,” granted “the motions to dismiss the state law personal liability claims,” and dismissed “as moot the motions to dismiss the breach of contract personal liability claims,” according to court documents filed on Feb. 25.
Argo Marketing owner and CEO Jason Levesque told the newspaper that “five or six disgruntled employees out of 500 are looking at making something up.”
