On June 29, 2009, Sturdevant Law Firm, along with co-counsel Talamantes/Villegas/Carrera, LLP , and the Boston firm of Lichten & Liss-Riordan, P.C. filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of Alameda County against Jani-King, a multinational commercial cleaning company based in Texas with regional offices throughout California. The suit, which is now pending in federal district court in San Francisco, was brought by four janitorial workers who were lured into spending thousands of dollars on purported cleaning “franchises” in order to do janitorial work for Jani-King’s customers, and charges that the company has engaged in unlawful, fraudulent and unfair conduct in marketing, promoting, selling and operating these “franchises.” Plaintiffs are also challenging Jani-King’s misclassification of them and other California franchisees as “independent contractors.”
