SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 9 – Alexis Allen is an
Alabama-based nurse who took a
job amid the COVID-19 pandemic
to come and work in New York
for Krucial Staffing, for
$13,000 a week.
She found there
was no appropriate PPE. She
sued.
On January
6, U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Chief Judge Ona T. Wang held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The complaint
says "Krucial has profited on
this crisis, it rakes in
double what it pays its
workers."
In the docket
there are quotes from D.H.
Lawrence's 1919 poem, "The
Grey Nurse." Less poetic, it's
said Krucial is backed by an
on-site, wealthy hedge fund...
false reference on Yelp.
On April 9, Judge
Wang held another proceeding,
and Inner City Press again
covered it. The talk was of
discovery and Judge Wang's
order to compel. It was said
that without seeing the
retaining agreement, no
settlement could be possible.
The case is Allen
et al v. Krucial Staffing, LLC
et al., 20-cv-2859 (Wang)
