Workers File Wage Suit Against Luby’s

A federal judge has granted conditional approval for a class-action lawsuit over tip sharing at Luby’s restaurants in Texas. According to the lawsuit,

the cafeteria-style restaurant wrongly forced wait staff to share tips in violation of federal wage laws. Attorneys for Luby’s maintain that wait staff more closely resemble table bussers, a group that is legally allowed to divide tips. Mary Flood, Houston Chronicle 10/02/2008
