Torres v. Gristede's Operating Corp.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• ruling that there was no jurisdiction over counterclaims alleging sexual harassment and credit card fraud, as they were not related to plaintiffs’ FLSA claims
• holding that the “employment relationship does not establish a ‘common nucleus of operative fact’ where it is the sole fact connecting Plaintiffs’ federal overtime claims and [defendant’s] state law counterclaims”
• noting that “baseless claims or lawsuits designed to deter claimants from seeking legal redress constitute impermissibly adverse retaliatory actions”
• stating that the faithless servant counterclaims were permissive in comparison to the discrete sexual harassment and credit card fraud claims
• noting that the defendant failed to “meet its burden of proving the Individual Plaintiffs’ alleged misconduct underlying its faithless [employee] claims”
• finding that isolated and relatively routine misconduct did not warrant application of the faithless servant doctrine
