Meyer Wilson sued big box retailers Lowe’s, Best Buy, and HH Gregg, alleging that those stores had installed the wrong type of vent on clothes dryers in their customers’ homes. The type of vents the stores were using could cause fires, according to the installation instructions given by manufacturers of the dryers themselves, the lawsuits alleged. As a result, Meyer Wilson argued that it wasn’t fair that the stores should be able to keep the money from their installation charges for such allegedly dangerous installations. In settling the cases on a classwide basis, each of the retailers agreed to re-do the installations with the proper type of vent - for any customer who wished - at no charge.

In the employment landscape, hardworking individuals often find themselves subjected to unfair labor practices and workplace discrimination, compromising their quality of life and self-esteem.
At Meyer Wilson, we understand the profound impact these issues can have, and we are dedicated to standing by your side, exploring your potential claim, and determining the best course of action.
Unfair labor practices can manifest in various forms, creating a complex web of issues that can have far-reaching consequences, both personally and professionally. These practices not only undermine the rights and well-being of employees but also contribute to a toxic work environment, hindering productivity and fostering an atmosphere of mistrust.
One concerning practice is the requirement for employees to submit to unauthorized background checks. These checks may delve into personal information that is irrelevant to the job responsibilities, violating privacy rights and potentially leading to discriminatory hiring practices.
Implementing policies that discourage accurate time recording is another form of unfair labor practice. This can lead to wage theft, where employees are not compensated for the hours they have worked, resulting in financial hardship and a breach of trust between employer and employee.
Discrimination in the workplace can take many forms, such as bias based on race, gender, age, disability, or religion. These actions not only undermine an individual's dignity but also create a hostile and unproductive work environment. Discrimination can manifest in various ways, including unfair hiring practices, unequal pay, and limited opportunities for advancement.
Addressing unfair labor practices requires a multifaceted approach, involving education, policy reform, and strict enforcement of existing laws. Employers must foster an inclusive and equitable work environment, where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to voice their concerns without fear of retaliation.
