It has come to our attention that with the Government’s reclassification of
Detention Supervisors previously classified as GS-9 and GS-10 to the newly
created Supervisory Immigration Enforcement Agent GS-11 position, those
individuals have lost the FLSA overtime afforded to them as a result of the Angelo
v. U.S. case. Additionally, previously classified GS-10 Detention
Supervisors who are now classified as GS-12 Supervisory Immigration
Enforcement Agents are also not earning FLSA overtime.
At this point, we are analyzing the appropriateness of a follow-up
lawsuit to include any plaintiffs from our previous litigation, as well as any
Supervisory Immigration Enforcement Agents that are not currently earning FLSA
overtime. Please note that at this time, we are not actively signing up
plaintiffs. However, we are in
the information gathering stage and would be interested in any information you
might have in order to possibly be included in any further litigation in which
our law firm might engage.
If you are interested in providing information to us which may lead to
follow-up litigation for Supervisory Immigration Enforcement Agents, please
fax the following information to Brad Fields at (858) 467-1285 or e-mail the
information to brad@coplaw.org: 1)
name, 2) current position and GS level, 3) How long you have been at your
current position and GS level, 4) what your previously held GS-level and
position was as a Detention Supervisor, including dates of such employment, 5)
whether you earned FLSA overtime prior to your re-classification as a
Supervisory Immigration Enforcement Agent, 6) whether you are currently
earning any FLSA overtime, 7) whether your job duties have changed in any way
whatsoever, 8) if so, how have your job duties changed, 9) home, cell, and
work phone numbers for contacting you, 10) email address, 11) home address,
and 12) social security
number.
Please
be aware that we are not signing up individual plaintiffs for litigation at
this time. You are providing this
information to us does not entail any type of sign-up or guarantee that we
will represent you or any other plaintiff in future litigation, should we deem
it appropriate to do so. However,
if we do decide to commence additional litigation, we will do our best to
contact you based on the information provided.
Please be aware that you are free to commence any litigation you deem
appropriate in the interim.
