N.Y. Installers Voluntarily Dismiss Their Class Action vs. Dish

The three plaintiffs in the Oct. 7 class action alleging Dish Network bilked New York installers of their proper biweekly pay and wrongfully terminated them in retaliation for their complaints about unsafe vans voluntarily dismissed their claims against Dish without prejudice, said their notice of dismissal Tuesday (docket 1:22-cv-08151) in U.S. District Court for Southern New York. Dish’s letter motion for a deadline extension to Nov. 15 to answer the complaint foretold a looming settlement in the case (see 2210070037). Settlement terms weren't disclosed in Tuesday’s notice of dismissal, but Dish told U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil the plaintiffs agreed to individually arbitrate their disputes with Dish.
