In recent years, employees in Napa and Sonoma County have faced increasing workplace challenges, particularly in the winery and agricultural industries. From wage theft to unsafe working conditions, many workers have been left without the fair treatment they deserve. At Haulk & Herrera LLP, we are committed to ensuring that employees have the legal support they need to stand up against unfair labor practices through class action lawsuits.


Why Class Actions Matter for Employees

A class action lawsuit allows multiple employees who have experienced the same workplace violations to come together and file a claim as a group. This not only strengthens the case but also provides workers with a greater chance of securing justice and financial compensation. Some of the most common employment issues that lead to class action lawsuits include:

  • Unpaid Wages & Overtime Violations – Employers failing to pay for overtime, not providing meal and rest breaks, or misclassifying employees to avoid proper compensation.

  • Workplace Safety Violations – Exposure to unsafe working conditions, especially in agricultural fields, production facilities, and wineries.

  • Discrimination & Harassment – Employees facing workplace discrimination based on race, gender, disability, or other protected categories.

  • Retaliation & Wrongful Termination – Employers retaliating against workers who report labor law violations or attempt to unionize.


Why Employees in Napa & Sonoma Need Strong Legal Representation

Recently, large law firms from outside the area, particularly from Los Angeles, have taken on class action cases in Napa and Sonoma County. However, many of these firms lack the local knowledge and personal investment necessary to see cases through effectively. Some firms take on a high volume of cases, only to drop them later when they become inconvenient.

Our attorneys, Jose Herrera and Matthew Haulk, have extensive experience representing workers and fighting for their rights.
