Hon. JUDGE JUDY

CONSENT TO JOIN

I work or worked at times during the past three years at Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. (“Ocean Spray”) as an hourly production employee and worked uncompensated overtime.

I choose to participate in the above-captioned lawsuit to seek damages regarding the calculation of overtime rates under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), and other relief under the law.

I choose to be represented by the named Plaintiffs, Sommers Schwartz, P.C., and Steffans Legal PLLC (“Plaintiff’s Counsel”). I agree to be bound by their decisions in the litigation and by any adjudication of this action by a court, whether it is favorable or unfavorable. I understand that reasonable costs expended by Plaintiff’s Counsel on my behalf will be deducted from any settlement or judgment amount on a pro-rata basis among all other plaintiffs. I understand that Plaintiff’s Counsel will petition the Court to award them attorneys’ fees from any settlement or judgment.

Additional information

It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an individual for exercising his or her rights (such as by participating in this lawsuit, or by submitting this document, or talking to attorneys about his or her rights to full compensation for work performed).

Unless you retain other legal counsel, at your own expense, you will be represented in this class/ collective action lawsuit by the Sommers Schwartz, P.C. and Steffans Legal PLLC law firms (“class counsel”). No prepayment of legal fees or costs is required. If the class or collective action is later de-certified, class counsel will inform you of your options; and class counsel may ask you to enter into a separate written retainer agreement at that time.

By joining this lawsuit, you agree to stay in contact with class counsel throughout the pendency of the lawsuit and to provide timely assistance to the attorneys and their staff, including preserving and providing documents and discovery responses, returning phone calls and emails, and testifying at depositions and trial. Please advise class counsel immediately of any change of address or employment; any bankruptcy filing; or any criminal conviction.

Attorneys shall be entitled to no fee unless awarded/approved by the court. In addition, any costs advanced by class counsel may be deducted from any amount you receive on a pro rata basis with all other plaintiffs.

Whether you have a claim or are entitled to damages cannot be determined until we review your information and employment history. Class counsel makes no guarantees or representations about the probable outcome of this lawsuit.
