MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Legal Newsline) – The U.S. Space and Rocket Center has filed a motion to dismiss in a class action lawsuit against it for allegedly not paying for state holidays for former and current employees.

“Plaintiffs… attempt to assert class claims based on their assertion that their ‘employer’ allegedly failed to provide holiday and longevity pay pursuant to certain Alabama statutory provisions,” the Sept. 23 motion to dismiss states. “Putting aside the plaintiffs’ misguided reliance upon these statutory provisions, plaintiffs rely upon this general concept in attempting to assert a single federal law claim and various state law claims against the state.”
