Deliverymen Suing Matsu Sushi Under FSLA Get to Trial and Are Crossed on Swapped Shifts

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 24– Qiang Lu sued Matsu Sushi of 483 Columbus Avenue in Manhattan for failure to pay overtime and to provide required information "in Chinese, [his] native language." 

  On September 24, 2021 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it, here. Now in August 2022 it's come to trial, see below.

  On September 24, 2021, the Law Offices of Vincent S. Wong, for the defendants, asked for an extension of time for discovery, and got it.

Jump cut to August 22, 2022 when the civil trial began before Judge John P. Cronan, to whom the case was reassigned. Inner City Press went and covered it. The questioning was about when a half day was added - in 2015? There were only two other people in the gallery of Courtroom 12D.

On August 23, the redirect examination was doing long. Judge Cronan told plaintiffs' counsel to stay within the scope of the cross examination. On re-cross, the witness acknowledged he had in those days swapped shifts, and couldn't remember which day, no one could. The next witness dramatically identified the defendant, by point and saying, He is wearing black clothing. The trial will continue.

The case is Lu, et al. v. Purple Sushi, Inc. et al., 19-cv-5828 (Cronan)
