In July 2024, SGB and co-counsel at Fair Work Center filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of all current and former baristas employed by Tagle & Partners LLC and Alan Tagle alleging wage theft and violations of paid sick leave laws. On May 15, 2025, we amended our complaint to include allegations related to Defendants’ restrictions on baristas ability to hold a second job.

On June 10, 2025 the Court determined that this lawsuit should proceed as a class action, with trial likely to occur later this year. Follow the links below to view important documents in the case.

If you worked as a barista at any of Defendants’ coffee stands between July 15, 2021 and June 10, 2025 and have any questions or would like additional information, please contact paralegal, Mary Dardeau at (206) 233-1257 or (800) 809-2234 or dardeau@sgb-law.com.
