BlackRock Employee Surveillance
GS&A has filed a putative class action against Blackrock, Inc., in the Southern District of New York, for violating, inter alia, the Federal Wiretap Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2511. As alleged in the complaint, BlackRock engaged in the unlawful electronic monitoring of the personal financial accounts and transactions of its former employees from February 2024 through January 2025, if not longer. The case is Hacopian-Armen, et al. v. Blackrock, Inc., et al., 1:25-cv-02361-JSR (S.D.N.Y.), and you can read about it in Bloomberg Law and FundFire. If you are a former employee of BlackRock and believe you have been subjected to unlawful monitoring after separating from the company and/or would like to learn more, please contact Leo Derosby at LDerosby@gslawny.com.
GS&A files a class action against NYC Transit Authority
GS&A filed a class action in the Eastern District of New York, alleging that the New York City Transit Authority systematically discriminates against employees with disabilities, in violation of federal, state, and city law. Anti-discrimination laws require employers to work closely and expeditiously with employees who make a reasonable accommodation request due to a disability. However, before engaging in this cooperative dialogue with its employees, the NYCTA requires that they submit to multiple unnecessary medical examinations, which can delay a final decision on their request for reasonable accommodation up to a year. That’s illegal. To learn more about the case, please contact raudain@gslawny.com.
New York Cash Bail Seizures
GS&A has filed a class action against the State and City of New York for illegally seizing cash bails. Bail money can only be forfeited if a judge makes a finding on the record that the person’s absence is without a reasonable excuse and then issues a forfeiture order. The State and City have been violating that mandate. In case after case, bail has been deemed forfeit by court administrators, without a judicial order. By taking it upon themselves to issue forfeiture orders, court administrators are depriving the Fund and class members of a meaningful opportunity to be heard, creating an unacceptable risk of error, and subverting basic safeguards against arbitrary deprivations. They are also subverting the judicial process by making it impossible to create a complete record necessary for meaningful appellate review. This practice violates the State Constitution.
