SGM files a class action lawsuit against CN
SGM has launched a national unpaid overtime class action lawsuit against the Canadian National Railway Company.
The lawsuit, commenced this morning in Toronto, Ontario, is brought by Michael McCracken, a CN “first line supervisor”, on behalf of over one thousand present and former CN first line supervisors across Canada.
The lawsuit alleges that CN misclassified first line supervisors as management employees in order to escape its obligations to pay overtime under the Canada Labour Code. The lawsuit further alleges that CN first line supervisors across Canada are routinely required to work hundreds of hours of overtime annually for which they are not paid.
