This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis P.C. discusses Hawkins v. TACA Int'l Airlines, S.A., in which the California Superior Court dismissed a putative class action against several airlines alleging violations of Section 2810 of the California Labor Code, which prohibits businesses from entering into certain contracts they know or should know do not include enough funds for the contractor to comply with applicable labor laws. The court held that the complaint, filed by employees allegedly owed unpaid wages, overtime and uniform reimbursement by their defunct employer, failed to allege facts sufficient to state a claim. The court stated that mere boilerplate allegations are insufficient, and the complaint must include facts to support the alleged violations, including exactly how or in what manner they occurred.
