Hey Midge,

I sent you an email a while back, but never received a reply. Perhaps I was blocked by a junk mail filter. I’ll send a copy of the original email right away. If you don’t get anything within the next 24 hours let me know.

Midge & Mike,

Wow! It’s great to hear from you. I hope you’re both doing well.

Midge – This picture by David Strick was taken at the Grammys in the early 80’s. You gotta love that guy on the right.

Mike – Thanks for the kind words. It sounds like you’re living the dream. I would love to have lunch.

As an eligible litigant in CLS transportation class action lawsuits I’m only aware of one pending case. This is Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, LLC. CLS Las Vegas is a separate business entity with its own legal issues.

In the case of Iskanian, the plaintiff claims he wasn’t compensated for overtime, expenses, and meal breaks. Having worked for CLS with Iskanian, this wasn’t my experience. Our compensation was dictated by the Prince v. CLS Transportation decision.

In any organization with hundreds of chauffeurs, there will always be a handful of disgruntled individuals. Unfortunately, California labor law is a tapestry of undeciferable case law that engenders lawsuits.

CLS is far from a perfect company, but it does provide health insurance, a 401k, dental, and a private chauffeurs lounge with a big screen TV, ping-pong table, and computer. In addition, full-time chauffeurs keep their vehicles and rarely switch. Senior chauffeurs with requests make between 75K and 100k a year.

All things considered, it’s a pretty good gig.
