Landon Brinkman, Meghan McClendon, and Nicole Yount (“Plaintiffs” or “Class Representatives”), filed a lawsuit against Target Corporation (“Defendant,” and collectively with Plaintiffs, the “Parties”) on behalf of themselves and a class of similarly situated applicants for employment. The lawsuit, Brinkman v. Target Corporation, Case No. 24-2-25091-3 SEA (the “Lawsuit”) is currently pending in King County Superior Court before Judge Michael R. Scott. Plaintiffs claimed in the lawsuit that Defendant’s job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered. Defendant disputes Plaintiffs’ claims and contends it has not violated any law and Plaintiffs’ claims are without merit.
The Court still has to decide whether to approve the settlement. No settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the settlement, and it becomes final.
