Fernandez v. Victoria's Secret - $10 Million Settlement - California
June 2017
Attorney Gary A. Dordick, along with co-counsel, obtained a $10 million award for clients Cynthia Fernandez, Monica Reyna and all others similarly situated against Victoria's Secret Stores, LLC. Applicants for hourly sales associates, support associates and cashiers for Victoria's Secret retail stores in California formed the plaintiff class. The group claimed that the defendant imposed uncompensated job training and job previews, and mandated applicants to undergo a “sales tryout,” requiring training and work without providing pay. The plaintiffs sought unpaid wages.
Mr. Dordick sued the company for unfair trade practices and failure to pay wages. After litigation in federal court, Victoria's Secret paid $10 million to the class members.
