• holding that declarations that were “in all material respects identical [to] one another” were not credible where they were “clearly composed by lawyers” and contradicted by deposition testimony
• holding FLSA and NYLL class claims should be tried together “because it allows for a more cost-efficient and fair litigation of common disputes”
• stating that “in a collective action, only plaintiffs who affirmatively opt in can benefit from the judgment or be bound by it”
• finding that “good faith” defense subject to common proof suffices for purposes of Rule 23(a)(2
