Supreme Court Allows Minor Leaguers' Class-Action Lawsuit Over Pay

The United States Supreme Court is allowing a class-action lawsuit to proceed from minor league baseball players who allege they are being paid less than minimum wage.

Attorney and former minor league pitcher Garrett Broshuis announced the news on Twitter on Monday. Broshuis shared a statement from his firm Korein Tillery.

"The Supreme Court's decision to let the class certification decision stand is great news for minor league players. After almost four years on appeal, the players can now return to the trial court to ensure that Major League Baseball and team owners comply with minimum and overtime wage laws, a welcome development for minor leaguers in a very unusual year," the statement said.
