Lockheed Martin Class Action Lawsuit

A class action lawsuit is being filed against a corporation, known as the defendants (“Lockheed Martins Corporation or Defendant›), in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California (styled United States of America, et al. v. Lockheed Martin Corp.). This lawsuit claims that a group of plaintiffs within a class of workers at a Los Angeles plant were denied promotions to management levels. The plaintiffs have established that they are a representative group of a class of other employees, collectively referred to as a “unit,” who were subjected to an unfair treatment. The complaint alleged that they had been subjected to unlawful treatment by their superior in the employment position.

The complaint stated that defendant was aware of the discrimination but failed to take appropriate corrective action. In addition, the complaint alleged that defendant failed to investigate the allegations of discrimination and failed to ensure that the promotions in question went to the people whom the plaintiffs felt qualified to hold these positions.

There was a preliminary ruling in this class action suit in which it was determined that the complaint was entitled to relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). However, the preliminary ruling also indicated that the case would need to be litigated on a class-action basis. In this case, the case will be litigated as a class action, so that it will cover a group of employees in a comparable position. A class-action lawsuit, like a typical lawsuit, allows the same rights to individual plaintiffs that it would to all other individuals individually.

The plaintiffs are asking that the court award them a class-action suit because they are unable to obtain legal representation from an attorney. Because the complaint is a class-action lawsuit, a class-action law firm can provide legal counsel to individual plaintiffs and help them establish their claim and obtain a reasonable settlement based on that evidence. As such, the plaintiff in this case has no other means of getting relief other than to file a suit.

Class-action lawsuits are also more common than traditional litigation lawyers. This type of lawsuit is not initiated by a disgruntled employee, but by an individual or group who has been denied a job opportunity or otherwise subjected to discrimination. In most cases, a plaintiff cannot seek legal counsel unless there is a legitimate concern about discrimination. A typical class-action case might be filed when the plaintiff’s complaint involves an employment matter such as sexual harassment, race discrimination, age discrimination, or other employment issues.

The plaintiff in this case is represented by a personal injury attorney who is well familiar with employment law and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). His firm is not involved in the litigation, but works on contingency only, and does not represent the corporation.

Some of the facts surrounding the case include a timeline and list of other allegations against the corporation, as well as the amount of compensation sought in the lawsuit: plaintiff’s complaint, a preliminary ruling, the defendant’s response, and the results of the preliminary ruling. A detailed timeline is provided in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the legal process. The plaintiff’s complaint lists an abundance of alleged wrongs and wrongdoings, including failure to promote an employee to a manager level, failure to promote an employee to a supervisory role, refusal to promote an employee to a managerial position, failure to promote an employee to a supervisory position, refusal to promote an employee to a supervisory position, and other unfair treatment including demotion, termination, and lack of training for an employee.

It is important to note that the Lockheed Martin lawsuit, like other class-action lawsuits, is an attempt at a fair settlement through the courts. It is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney experienced in litigating these types of cases.
