Hundreds of New York-based Bloomberg LP analytics representatives, who help clients navigate their Bloomberg Terminals, have been certified as a class in a federal action aimed at recovering unpaid overtime.
Southern District Judge Denise Cote on Thursday certified the class, whose putative membership includes more than 1,000 current and former employees. She focused much of her decision on how the plaintiffs had met Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(a)’s “predominance” requirement, which mandates that a class action predominantly involve questions of law or fact common to the class.
