Steele v. SecureWatch

What is the case about?

Am I part of the class?
Plaintiff seeks to sue on behalf of himself and also on behalf of other employees with whom he is similarly situated. Plaintiff alleges that those individuals consist of current and former technicians of SecureWatch at any time within the last two years.
