Class Action Lawsuit Against Tower 39 Lounge
In a significant development within the realm of labor and employment law, San Diego-based attorneys from Zakay Law Group, APLC, and JCL Law Firm, APC, have filed a class action lawsuit against S.C. Hotel, LLC, operating as Tower 39 Lounge. This legal action was initiated on October 27, 2025, and is currently pending in the San Diego County Superior Court under Case No. 25CU033406N.
Allegations and Legal Background

- - Not compensating employees for overtime work.
- - Failing to provide legally mandated meal and rest breaks.
- - Not issuing accurate itemized wage statements.
- - Delaying wage payments.
- - Not reimbursing certain business expenses incurred by employees.
