Thousands of persons have performed unpaid "volunteer" work for America Online during the 1990's and through June of 2005 when AOL terminated its "Community Leader" program. In 1999 a group of former AOL Community Leaders ("CLs") filed a class action lawsuit against AOL seeking the payment of minimum wages for the valuable work they performed for AOL. Overtime pay is also being sought for CLs who worked over 40 hours a week. This web page is maintained by the attorneys representing the CLs who filed the lawsuit.
On February 19, 2008 the Court in that case issued an Order directing that all persons who worked as CLs for AOL at anytime after May 1, 1997 be given an opportunity to join this lawsuit and make a claim for unpaid wages.
