CAREER EDUCATION: Asks IL Court To Certify Overtime Wage Lawsuit

ILLINOIS (SunStream News) -- Plaintiffs asked the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to grant class certification to the lawsuit filed against Career Education Corporation, American InterContinental University, Inc. (AIU Online) and the president of the Company's Online Education Group, for violations of federal labor law.

The suit, styled "Vander Vennet, et. al. v. American InterContinental University, Inc., et. al.," was filed on August 24, 2005 by former admissions advisors of AIU, alleging that the defendants violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, and the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act. The defendants allegedly failed to pay the plaintiffs for all of the overtime hours they allegedly worked. The plaintiffs are seeking certification as a class under the FLSA and, on August 24, 2005, filed a motion for FLSA Notice.
