California Worker Claims Labor Law Violations

Santa Clara, California — A lawsuit filed on January 6, 2025, in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, alleges that W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc., a Delaware corporation, committed multiple labor law violations

Plaintiff Mary Joy Ramos claims the company failed to comply with California Labor Code provisions during her employment from April 2018 to July 2024. Ramos alleges that W.L. Gore & Associates failed to compensate her for all hours worked, including minimum wage, straight time, and overtime. 

The lawsuit also contends the company failed to provide legally mandated meal and rest breaks and neglected to maintain accurate records of employee hours and wages. These alleged violations, characterized in the complaint as “willful and deliberate,” reportedly affected Ramos and other hourly or non-exempt employees during the specified period. 

Further accusations include the company’s failure to furnish accurate wage statements and provide timely payment of final wages upon termination. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that W.L. Gore & Associates failed to reimburse employees for necessary work-related expenses.

Ramos seeks civil penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) on behalf of herself and other potentially affected employees. The lawsuit focuses solely on recovering these penalties and requests injunctive relief to prevent future violations. This case highlights the ongoing struggle to ensure worker rights in California and underscores the importance of compliance with state labor laws.
