Attorney Daniel Katz obtains $67,000 judgment for construction workers in wage and hour case for unpaid overtime wages.

CYNTHIA DIPASQUALE
Daily Record Legal Affairs Writer
August 13, 2007

A magistrate judge in Greenbelt has ordered $67,000 in overtime wages be paid to three immigrant construction workers employed by a suburban Washington home remodeling company.

Marcos Garcia, Daniel Espinoza and Manuel Portillo worked for C&M Builders Inc. variably between 1999 and December 2005, according to attorney Daniel A. Katz. While they were properly paid for 40 hours of work per week, they claimed to never have been paid time-and-a-half for overtime hours often totaling an additional 40 hours per week.

“One of them worked there for six years,” Katz said of the employees. “Those who have less opportunities and less mobility tend to stay in situations which are unjust longer than those who have more choices and more mobility in life.”

The construction company was represented by the Law Office of Melvin George Bergman in Greenbelt, which did not respond to a request for comment.

Garcia worked with the Brentwood company between January 1999 and December 2005. Portillo was there from April 2003 until December 2005. Espinoza worked there from June through December 2005.

All three were always paid in cash and were paid “straight time,” according to Katz. Two of the plaintiffs had some time records. The plaintiffs and witnesses testified that the company’s workers punched time cards from 2003 forward, but the defendants did not produce those documents during discovery, Katz said.

While the case was fairly standard as far as wage claims go, Katz said the most challenging aspect was representing plaintiffs for whom going to court was “quite literally a foreign experience.”

“I think in general … convincing low-wage — and especially low-wage immigrant workers — that it’s worth it to pursue claims in court is a tough haul because they’re generally treated so inequitably in other aspects of society and it’s such an effort to take that plaintiff to court,” he said.

The case (8:06-cv-01945-JKS, filed July 28, 2006) was in U.S. District Court because the plaintiffs filed claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Jillyn K. Schulze found in the plaintiffs favor after a one-day bench trial on July 30. She entered a judgment of $45,622 for Garcia, $18,045 for Portillo and $2,790 for Espinoza.

Maryland ACLU's 75th Anniversary Celebration

Elliott Andalman, President of the Maryland ACLU, worked on putting together a spectacular 75th Anniversary celebration which took place on June 3, 2007, in Baltimore. Over 600 persons from all over the state attended the event at Ravens' Stadium. Elliott was one of several speakers at the event which was highlighted by the keynote address of Anthony Romero, the President of the national ACLU.

Attorney Elliott Andalman published a news article for the Maryland State Bar Association Section of Labor and Employment Law

The article is entitled, "An Outline of Benefits Available to Workers Who Become Disabled". It is published in the Summer 2007 Newsletter. The focus of the article is to inform the Bar about the programs available, other than workers’ compensation, to workers in Maryland if they become disabled to work. Workers’ compensation programs provide benefits for workers who suffer an accidental injury that arose out of or in the course of employment.

Attorney Elliott Andalman assists victims of Katrina

Elliott Andalman traveled to the Mississippi Gulf Coast this Spring to a pro bono clinic to assist victims of Katrina.

The Pro Bono Clinic was sponsored by the Mississippi Center for Justice, whose executive director is Elliott's wife, Martha Bergmark.

Non-marital Property (monetary award v. reimbursement)

On May 18, 2007, a Court of Special Appeals ruling changed how the court can calculate and distribute non-marital funds, specifically when one party brings into a marriage for use in purchasing a home, when the parties divorce, sell the home and divide the proceeds.

In Gibson v. Gibson, a wife sought reimbursement from her husband for approximately $30,000 in non-martial funds which she used toward the purchase of their marital home. The home was jointly-titled as tenants by the entirety and was purchased during the course of their 10-year marriage. When the parties divorced, the court originally awarded her 56% of the marital assets in the divorce; the court provided her with the extra 6% as her “reimbursement” for the $30,000 of non-marital money she provided for the martial home. However, the husband challenged the lower court’s decision because there was no statutory provision allowing the court to simply award one party more money for a non-marital contribution.

The Court of Special Appeals ruled that a party who contributes non-marital funds to the acquisition of real property titled as tenants by the entirety is not entitled to an automatic refund. The court must adhere to the Maryland Family Law Code §8-202 et seq. for division of property in a divorce action. The procedure that the court must follow in dividing martial assets is: 1) determine ownership of personal and real property, 2) determine what is marital property, 3) determine the value of all marital property, and lastly, 4) the court may grant a monetary award as an adjustment of the equities and rights of the parties concerning marital and non-marital property.

As such, the Court of Special Appeals remanded the Gordon case back to the lower court so that a determination of the marital property could be evaluated pursuant to Maryland Family Law Code §8-202 et seq.

Maryland General Assembly - House Bill 265/Senate Bill 503 - Fairer Allocation of Children's Health Insurance Premiums in Child Support Calculations

Spearheaded by Delegate Kathleen Dumais of Montgomery County, Maryland’s District 15 and signed into law by Governor Martin O’Malley on April 10, 2007, House Bill 265 / Senate Bill 503 changes the way in which children’s health insurance premiums are accounted for in child support calculations.

Historically, the children’s monthly health insurance premiums have been deducted from the paying parent’s income, and the reduced income is then used to calculate the parent’s monthly child support obligation. House Bill 265 / Senate Bill 503 now require that the children’s health insurance premium be shared by both parents in proportion to their incomes. Given the rising cost of health insurance, the result is a more equitable allocation of the children’s premiums between the parents.

The new law goes into effect October 1, 2007.

Maryland General Assembly - House Bill 422 / Senate Bill 238 – Collecting Judgments from Alimony

When a party obtains a judgment against another party in a civil suit, the court awards a specified amount of money which is immediately payable. Judgments can operate as liens on real property the debtor owns and may be collected by garnishing the debtor’s bank accounts and wages, or seizing personal property. There are a few exemptions available to the debtor to protect assets from seizure and garnishment.

For example, federal and state law exempts child support from attachment for a parent’s debts. However, until the enactment of these Maryland bills, alimony payments have not been protected from garnishment, resulting in seizure of the entire monthly alimony payment. Whereas wage garnishments have generally been limited to garnishing a portion of the employee’s wages, generally 25% of disposable wages.

With the passage of House Bill 422 / Senate Bill 238, which shall go into effect October 1, 2007, alimony shall be exempt from garnishment to the same extent as wages, which is to say only a portion of the monthly alimony payment may be garnished.

Maryland General Assembly - House Bill 536 – Extended Rights to Establish Paternity (and Right to Child Support) for Special Needs Children

Adopted on March 13, 2007 and approved by Governor Martin O’Malley on April 24, 2007, this bill changes Maryland Family Law Code §5-1006 to provide greater protections for children who suffer from mental or physical disabilities and whose paternity has not been determined. This bill goes into effect October 1, 2007.

Prior to the new law going into effect, a parent seeking to establish paternity of a child, and thus entitlement to child support, was required to bring any such claim prior to the child’s eighteenth birthday. The law provided no exception for children with special needs who are expected to need ongoing parent financial support beyond the ordinary age for termination of child support.

With the passage of this bill, a parent may now file to establish custody of a special needs child at any time prior to the child’s twenty-first birthday.

House Bill 314: Opening State Courthouse Doors for Claims of Employee Discrimination

By Daniel Katz

House Bill 314, also known as the "Private Right of Action" bill, was passed by the Maryland House on March 21, 2007 by a 137-0 vote, and then by the Senate (Senate Bill 678) on March 29, 2007. Governor Martin O’Malley approved the bill on April 24, 2007.
The vast majority of states allow employment discrimination claims to be brought in local courts. When this new law goes into effect on October 1, 2007, Maryland will be in line with those courts.

This bill changes Maryland law to allow all employees to file lawsuits in the state courts against employers who violate anti-discrimination laws, such as such as bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, compensation, and harassment. Before the passage of this bill, many employees could only sue in the federal courts located in Baltimore and Greenbelt. The new law will give wider access to the courts for Maryland employees who are victims of discrimination.

House Bill 314 passed after years of effort by advocacy groups and attorneys who believed that all Marylanders should have access to the state courts when they are victims of discrimination. The new law was passed with the support of the Maryland Employment Lawyers Association, the Women’s Law Center of Maryland, the Maryland Human Relations Commission, the Maryland State Bar Association, and many other public interest organizations.

Attorney Elliott Andalman to speak at NOSSCR Spring 2007 Social Security Disability Law Conference in Baltimore, April 18-21

Attorney Elliott Andalman will be a speaker at the NOSSCR Spring 2007 Social Security Disability Law Conference in Baltimore, April 18-21, 2007.

Mr. Andalman will present twice, once on the examination of vocational experts at social security disability hearings; and once on an overview of federal disability retirement law. Mr. Andalman's co-presenter and co-author of the paper on vocational experts is Kathleen Sampeck, who is a vocational rehabilitation consultant.

Elliott Andalman, President of the Board of Governors of the ACLU of Maryland, published in the February 2, 2007 Gazette newspaper, concerning confidentiality of and access to attorneys' client-related work and records

This week the New York Times editorial board cited as an “assault on the rule of law” the “attempt by Justice Department lawyers to seize computers from the plaintiffs’ lawyers in order to remove a document central to their case against the government.” Meanwhile, right here in Maryland, the ACLU has gone to court challenging a state subpoena demanding production of a civil rights lawyer’s computer hard drive and personnel records.

When the government claims the right to rummage through the computer files of a lawyer who has won a court victory against it, it offends deeply enshrined American principles of privacy and attorney-client privilege. That’s why the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland is appealing to the Maryland Court of Special Appeals to quash the subpoena.

The controversy arises in a voting rights case in which the Maryland Green Party successfully challenged the constitutionality of state election laws and practices that denied a Green Party candidate a place on the ballot during the 2000 Congressional elections. The merits of the dispute have been settled since 2003, when the State’s highest court ruled in favor of the Green Party. The courts also have squarely decided that the State is required to pay the Green Party’s legal fees under civil rights law. But the litigation has dragged on for years as the State has sought to delay or avoid payment of those fees – engaging in what Supreme Court Justice William Brennan once called “one of the least socially productive types of litigation imaginable.”

The subpoena was served in Spring 2006 upon Montgomery College, the employer of one of the Green Party’s lawyers, a non-party to the case. It demands production of the lawyer’s job application and his wage, attendance, and leave records. More importantly, the subpoena also seeks all email and other electronic information stored on the lawyer's password-protected work computer, including privileged communications between the lawyer and the Green Party and confidential documents prepared as part of the litigation.

Not only has this proceeding become a colossal waste of taxpayer resources, but enforcement of the subpoena would imperil two of the oldest and most fundamental legal protections that clients and their lawyers have -- the attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine. At the same time, the subpoena could seriously undermine the enforcement of important civil rights laws. After all, what plaintiff in her right mind would come forward to seek justice through the courts if being successful means the party who violated her rights can then search her lawyer’s computer, reading any communications back and forth -- even if wholly unrelated to the case?

The tremendous explosion in surveillance-enabling technologies, combined with the ongoing weakening in legal restraints that protect our privacy have us drifting toward a surveillance society. It is time to hold the line in Maryland.

Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Co. v. White (2006)

In a recent landmark U.S. Supreme Court Case, an employee sued her employer, alleging retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The employee claimed the employer was taking illegal actions against the employee because of her complaints about a supervisor’s sexual harassment.

The Court determined that:
(a) The Civil Rights Act was designed to protect against discrimination, whether or not it had any effect on the terms and conditions of employment; and
(b) The employee had to show that a reasonable employee in a similar situation would have found the discrimination materially harmful to his or her employment.

Here, the employee’s 37-day suspension without pay was found to be unlawful retaliation, even though prior to going to court the employer had reimbursed the employee for her lost pay during the suspension.

The court awarded the employee compensatory damages of $43,000 and $3,250 in medical expenses.

This case should help employees since the Court respected the employer’s position that an employee must prove that discrimination had a negative effect on the terms and conditions of employment.

The Social Security Administration issued a Ruling, SSR 06-3p, which recognizes the importance of evidence from medical sources and others, who are not doctors (such as social workers and nurses and physical therapists), in determining Social Security benefits.

The Ruling still requires an “acceptable medical source” to determine the existence of an impairment, but now treating sources which were previously deemed not to be “acceptable medical sources” may be given greater weight in the area of severity and limitations based on the actual treating relationship and specialty of the other medical source.

This has a substantial impact because state agency opinions are based solely on the review of the records submitted without even a consultative examination.

Under Social Security policy, SSR 02-1p, obesity is a “medically determinable impairment” and can be considered in the context of equaling other related listings such as cardiovascular and muscoskeletal. If the Social Security Administration fails to follow SSR 02-1p, it may have made legal error that can be the basis for an appeal of a Social Security Disability decision denying benefits.

Social Security Administration's final regulations for the new disability determination process

The Commissioner has published its final regulations for the new disability determination process, which may be viewed at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability-new-approach, along with documents that summarize the new rules and transcripts of the Commissioner's testimony on the topic.
