49 furloughed workers sue MYCAP for time off pay

YOUNGSTOWN

Forty-nine former long-term employees of the Mahoning-Youngstown Community Action Partnership have sued that agency, saying it still owes them paid time off they should have received upon their July 31, 2014, termination.

Depending on their length of service, MYCAP owes the 49 plaintiffs between about $200 and about $4,000 each, said Timothy J. Cunning of Boardman, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.

The plaintiffs joined MYCAP between 1974 and 2004.

Cunning and his law partner, Sean R. Scullin, filed the lawsuit Friday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court, where the case is assigned to Judge Lou A. D’Apolito.

The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages of more than $25,000 and punitive damages to be determined in a jury trial.
