In the employment contacts a class action law suit is most often times involving wage and hours issues - where your employer hasnt paid you overtime, or hasnt paid you time and a half for that overtime, or in the state of New York hasnt offered you the lunch break and certain deals that youre entitled to. If that employer has treated a certain group of employees, say all of the secretaries who are paid hourly, the same way you can take certain of those employees and have them be representative of a class, which is the group of secretaries.
