Rosenburg, et al., v. IBM, Case No. C06-0430-PH, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

We represent, with co-counsel, approximately 37,000 current and former IBM technical support employees in a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit accuses IBM of failing to pay overtime wages to employees who install, maintain or support computer software or equipment. The plaintiffs' Complaint asked the federal court to order IBM to pay technical employees for the overtime they have worked in the past, and to start paying overtime to current employees in the eligible positions.

• On November 22, 2006, IBM agreed to settle the class-action lawsuit for a total of $65 million. The $65 million settlement, if finally approved by the Court, will compensate the plaintiffs for their unpaid overtime and related claims.
• On January 11, 2007, the Northern California District Court gave preliminary approval to the $65 million settlement.
• On July 12, 2007, the Northern District court granted final approval to the $65 million settlement.
