Chick-Fil-A Employee Sues Over Allegations of Owner Breaking Wage Laws

A Tacoma Chick-Fil-A employee filed a class-action lawsuit this week against the local owner of restaurants in Tacoma and Fircrest, alleging more than 40 employees have not been fairly compensated for the past three years.

The lawsuit seeks unpaid wages, plus double that amount in punitive damages, from Schneller Enterprises LLC, the franchisee for Chick-Fil-A locations near the Tacoma Mall and Tacoma Community College. Lynnae Schneller was named the mall franchisee in 2015 and opened the Fircrest location in 2019.

Attorney Jim Pizl of Puyallup’s Entente Law filed the lawsuit on behalf of David Hogan, an hourly employee since at least November 2019, in Pierce County Superior Court on Thursday, according to court documents.
