Former employees of the famous New York City sandwich wholesaler, Bimmy’s, are suing the company for allegedly violating federal and state labor laws.

According to court documents filed in Brooklyn federal court, Bimmy’s and its owner, Elliot Fread, are accused of failing to pay the workers who prepare its sandwiches in factories in New York City the applicable minimum wage rate for all hours worked and overtime. The lawsuit claims the company’s practices violate the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and the New York Labor Law.

Attorney Rachel Bien, who represents the two former Bimmy’s employees who filed the lawsuit, released a statement saying: “Bimmy’s slogan is ‘Food Made With Love.’ Unfortunately, our clients allege that Bimmy’s have not shown the same love to the workers who actually make the food. We hope that this lawsuit will convince Mr. Fread to change his company’s policies and practices.”
