ORDER - For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS IN PART Union's 42 Motion to Dismiss, to the extent that it dismisses Plaintiffs' FLSA minimum wage claims (both individually and on behalf of the collective action class) and dismiss es Plaintiffs' breach of contract claims (both individually and on behalf of the Fed.

R. Civ. P. 23 class. The Court notes that the parties have been in contact with the Magistrat e Judge regarding a schedule for the expeditious resolution of issues regarding whether this matter is appropriate for treatment as a combined class action and FLSA collective action. The Court requests that the Magistrate Judge confer with the parties to address any effects of this Order on that schedule. (See Order.) Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 2/10/2016. (GSO)
