Some San Francisco operators oppose $8 million lawsuit settlement with Muni and want more money
Some Muni operators plan to dispute an $8 million settlement in a class action suit against their employers, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.
The amount isn’t enough, said plaintiffs Michael J. Benardo, Dorian Maxwell and Anthony Parker in a joint letter, to account for their unpaid overtime which amounts to $395 million, the amount operators initially sought when they sued the SFMTA.
The SFMTA Board of Directors voted to approve the $8 million settlement Jan. 3, in anticipation of a settlement hearing on Jan. 24 with U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.
It’s at that hearing the Muni operators in opposition to the settlement plan to make themselves heard.
