United States District Court, C.D. Illinois, Springfield Division.

June 10, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles Orlove, David S. Allen, Chicago, IL, Philip R. Russ, Amarillo, TX, for plaintiff.

Frederick P. Velde, Springfield, IL, Robert D. Overman, Jana D. Abbott, Wichita, KS, Alex V. Barbour, Joseph E. Tilson, Michael I. Leonard, Chicago, IL, for defendant.

OPINION

RICHARD MILLS, District Judge.

Secretary of Labor files a suit against Excel to enjoin violations of the FLSA, and two weeks thereafter, Excel's employees file suit under § 216(b) for unpaid wages.

Does the FLSA allow employees to sue despite the Secretary's antecedent suit?

"Difference" may make all the difference.

Summary judgment denied in part.
