If you choose to contact us in writing, please include your name, personal e-mail address, street address, and/or telephone number(s) so that we can respond to you.
CONFIDENTIALITY:
If you provide us with information relevant to the claims in these actions, we may have to reveal your name and contact information to Allstate. To the extent allowed by law, we will keep the substance of the information that you provide to us confidential. However, Allstate may seek the information that you provide to us, and the judge may compel us to reveal at least something about the communication.
RETALIATION:
Any retaliation by the company, its affiliates or subsidiaries against you for exercising your legal rights by participating in the suit, providing us with information, or otherwise assisting us, may provide you with a separate basis for bringing a suit. The law prohibits retaliation by Allstate against former as well as current employees. Please report any act that you consider retaliatory to us immediately. However, retaliation is sometimes subtle and we are limited by what we can prove.
YOUR STATUS:
The plaintiffs are asserting their claims on behalf of all employee agents of Allstate whose employment was terminated in the Mass Termination Program, or with respect to their age discrimination claims, on behalf of all employee agents who were at least 40 years old when their employment was terminated in the Mass Termination Program. But plaintiffs can represent other employee agents only if the Court approves, or “certifies,” their actions. If the Court certifies the action as to their age discrimination claims, you will have an opportunity to join, or “opt in,” to the lawsuit. If the Court certifies the action as to their other claims, you will automatically be a member of the class unless you “opt out.” You will receive a notice about any chance to “opt in” or “opt out” of the case.
We cannot promise that a class action will be certified or that you will be found to be a member of any class that is certified. But if you fall within the definition of a certified class, we will represent you as a class member. We are not agreeing to act as your personal attorney, although if you provide us with contact information, we will be in a better position to keep you informed about developments in the case.
