Fashion giant Chanel fights employee OT lawsuit

Chanel is fighting back against a lawsuit filed by a group of employees at its Beverly Hills store.

According to the suit, which was filed in December 2015 by shipping department employees Cristian Luna, Anthony Hernandez and Javier Delgado, Chanel failed to pay them and others overtime compensation and minimum wage for overtime hours worked in violation of both federal and state law.
