Illegal Terms of Use and Wage Violations? This issue of the ClassAction.org newsletter sheds some light on three new investigations. Attorneys are now looking into whether certain companies’ terms and conditions violate California law, why some homes in North Carolina may be unsafe and why some workers in New York may be getting paid too infrequently. To round things out, we’ll touch on a lawsuit filed over a popular home air freshener and, as always, the latest class action settlements you may be able to claim. - Ty Armstrong, Writer/Community Manager | Attorneys working with ClassAction.org continue to investigate whether certain companies are violating California law by including what’s known as a non-disparagement clause in the terms and conditions for their websites and/or apps.
