Recent court decisions regarding Engers v. AT&T Managment Pension Plan, C.A. 98-3660 (D.N.J.) include the following:
- Plaintiffs asked the Court to conditionally certify Claims
One and Two as a collective action under the ADEA. On May
24, 2007, the Court granted that motion. As a result, notices will
be mailed to over 40,000 individuals who fit the class definition.
The notices will give those individuals an opportunity to "opt-in" to
the collective action by signing a one-page consent to join form. The
notices are expected to be mailed before the end of July 2007. Click
