Note 3 - Legal Proceedings
 
On September 2, 2014, Amada Gonzalez and Leticia Ocampo, individually, and purportedly on behalf of a class of other persons similarly situated, filed and action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against the Company, Ron’s Temporary Help Services, Inc., Prime Staffing, Inc. and Extreme Staffing Solution Corp. The individual plaintiffs are alleged to be persons who were employed by one of the temporary staffing companies named as defendants in the action and who worked at the Company’s facilities. The complaint includes claims of alleged violations of The Fair Labor Standards Act, the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act, The Illinois Minimum Wage Law and the Illinois Day and Temporary Labor Services Act, for alleged failure to pay minimum wages, overtime wages or vacation pay. Liability is asserted against the Company as an alleged “joint employer.” The complaint requests judgment for the amount of alleged unpaid wages, unspecified liquidated damages, attorney’s fees and injunctive relief. The Company has not yet responded to the complaint but intends vigorously to defend against all of the claims made. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss with respect to this claim cannot be made.
 
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is party to certain claims or actions arising in the normal course of business. The ultimate outcome of these matters is unknown but, in the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters is not expected to have a significant effect on the future financial position or results of operations of the Company.
