The Court dismisses the following claims as to the City Defendants: (1) Plaintiffs' ; FMLA interference claim based on certification delay, miscalculation of eligibility hours, use of a designated FMLA number, and investigation of FMLA use (fifth cause of action); (2) Plaintiffs' FMLA retaliation claim based on the "high a bsentee" list (fifth cause of action); (3) Plaintiffs' First Amendment retaliation claim (fourth cause of action); and (4) Plaintiffs' New York State Labor Law claim (seventh cause of action).The following claims are not dismis sed and will proceed as to the City Defendants: (1) Plaintiffs' racial discrimination claims under Sections 1981 and 1983 (first cause of action); (2) NYSHRL racial discrimination claim (second cause of action); (3) NYCHRL racial discrimination claim (third cause of action); (4) Plaintiffs' FMLA interference claim based on the 30-minute call window and the miscalculation of FMLA hours used (fifth cause of action); (5) Plaintiffs' FMLA retaliation claim based on the requirement to perform mandatory overtime immediately upon returning from leave (fifth cause of action); and (6) Plaintiffs' breach of contract claim (sixth cause of action).For the reasons set forth in the attached, DC 37's motion to dismiss 89 Plaintiffs' Section 1981 racial discrimination claim (tenth cause of action) is granted insofar as Plaintiffs assert a direct discrimination claim, but denied on an acquiescence theory. Since DC 37 did not move to dismiss Plaintiffs' breac h of duty of fair representation claim (eighth cause of action), that claim will proceed.Plaintiffs motion to certify the proposed Section 1981 and FMLA classes, pursuant to FRCP 23(b)(2) for liability and injunctive relief [Dkt. 104], is granted. Ordered by Judge Pamela K. Chen on 9/28/2015. (Pelaez, Jenny)
