The complaint is seeking damages, including compensation for overtime pay, for the two named plaintiffs as well as all other current and former employees who had been hired as cleaning staff at Montefiore through a staffing agency over the past six years. That includes at least 200 individuals, according to the lawsuit.
“We have seen a pattern in the New York metropolitan area of hospitals hiring so-called ‘subcontractors’ to do the dirty work in their institutions while paying these essential workers substandard wages and no overtime,” said Lou Pechman, an attorney for the plaintiffs.Plaintiff Danny Cruz worked at Montefiore between November 2017 and September of this year. He typically worked night shifts from 4 p.m. to midnight, but also often took on morning shifts from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
