`
`DECLARATION OF MARTIN LAPOINTE
`
`I, Martin LaPointe, declare as follows:
`
`1. I am one of the attorneys for the Plaintiffs in this class action lawsuit. I currently
`reside in Prospect Heights, Illinois, and I’m now a partner for the law firm Harmssen LaPointe,
`P.C.
`
`2. I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein. If called to testify as to these
`matters, I could and would testify competently.
`
`3. This declaration is provided in support of Plaintiffs’ Motion for Leave to File Second
`Amended Complaint (“Motion to Amend” hereinafter).
`
`4. Attached as Exhibit A is a redlined version of Plaintiffs’ proposed Second Amended
`Complaint in accordance with Local Rule 10.4.
`
`5. Over approximately the past eight months, Plaintiffs’ counsel has been contacted by in
`excess of seventy (70) independent contractors who work now, or have worked in the past, for
`Defendants’ Grand Wailea Hotel wanting to join the lawsuit as named plaintiffs. As a result, as
`their attorneys, we knew we would need to seek leave to amend the First Amended Complaint
`(“FAC”) to allow them to join the lawsuit.
`
`6. During this same timeframe, the Parties were discussing the possibility of mediation at
`the request of Defense counsel. Plaintiffs’ counsel requested an extension of the briefing
`schedule for Defendants’ three pending motions: (1) a motion to compel arbitration and for a stay
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-00104-JMS-KJM Document 114-2 Filed 02/16/24 Page 2 of 76 PageID.1979
`
`pending arbitration with respect to the Hawai`i subclass; (2) a motion to dismiss individual Defendant
`Joseph Berger for lack of jurisdiction; and (3) a motion to compel arbitration and for a stay pending
`arbitration with respect to the California Subclass (“Defendants’ pending motions”). On August 5, 2023,
`Defense counsel requested that Plaintiff’s counsel focus their attention to drafting a Second Amended
`Complaint for purposes of settlement discussions, rather than address Defendants’ pending motions.
`Plaintiffs’ counsel obliged Defense counsel’s request in good faith to explore an early resolution and
`agreed to supply a proposed Second Amended Complaint.
`
`7. On August 9, 2023, the Court stayed this case to allow the parties to explore
`settlement. The parties eventually scheduled a settlement conference with Magistrate Judge
`Mansfield on December 1, 2023. The settlement conference was vacated shortly before
`December 1st.
`
`7. During the stay of the lawsuit, Plaintiffs’ counsel believed it was important to
`periodically inform Defense counsel regarding the additional people who wished to join as
`named plaintiffs. I sent a number of emails to Defense counsel informing them of this fact and
`attaching updated proposed Second Amended Complaints each time, including on September 28,
`2023, October 19, 2023, and November 24, 2023
`
`8. I also notified Defense counsel that Plaintiffs and the Putative Class Members working for
`Defendants’ Grand Wailea hotel were being subjected to worsening and unsafe working conditions which
`Plaintiffs considered to be retaliation.
`
`9. In my emails to Defendants’ counsel, I also prospectively informed them that we were
`removing the California portion of the lawsuit, and we would be refiling that part of the case in
`Southern California. I also informed Defendants’ counsel that we would be adding a Hawaii
`state law RICO count and retaliation allegations and claims related to the mass layoffs of our
`clients still working at Grand Wailea and their application to W-2 employees of the Hotel.
`Plaintiffs’ counsel have since filed the California class action lawsuit, and they are working to set
`a mediation date in April or May 2024 with Defense counsel on that case.
`
`10. On the morning of February 8, 2024, I sent counsel for Defendants draft versions of the
`Second Amended Complaint which added additional named plaintiffs, removed the California Plaintiffs
`and causes of action, added a retaliation claim and other claims related to events occurring after the filing
`of the FAC, and incorporated a state law RICO claim.. On February 9, 2024, in accordance with Local
`Rule 7.8, the attorneys for Plaintiffs and Defendants conferred by telephone in an attempt to reach a
`stipulation on the proposed motion to amend. Defendants’ counsel expressed that Defendants would
`oppose Plaintiffs’ motion to amend, primarily based on futility and argued that unnecessary costs and
`expenses on all sides would result from duplicative briefing based on their previous Motion to Compel
`Arbitration, which was withdrawn by the Court in light of the stay of the proceedings. Defense counsel
`also objected to an allegation pertaining to the state law RICO claim which was substantively identical to
`an allegation asserted with respect to the federal RICO claim in the FAC. Plaintiffs’ counsel sent another
`draft SAC after the meet and confer to clarify the allegations and address Defense counsel’s concerns.
`Specifically, Plaintiffs’ counsel clarified that the individual Defendants profited through their fraudulent
`misclassification scheme by virtue of their positions as executives of the corporate Defendants, which
`profited at greater margins than they otherwise should have due to their misclassification of the Plaintiffs
`and Putative Class Members.

`
`11. On February 14, 2024, in another effort to reach an agreement on the Motion to Amend,
`Plaintiffs’ counsel emailed a proposed stipulation to counsel for Defendants which would allow the
`Plaintiffs to file their Second Amended Complaint while extending the deadline for Defendants’
`responsive pleading until after the Court ruled on the Defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration.
`Counsel for Defendants refused to agree to such a stipulation.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I declare under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Illinois and
`
`the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`Executed this 16th day of February 2024, at Prospect Heights, Illinois.

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Plaintiffs bring the claims asserted in their Second Amended Class & Collective Action
`
`Complaint individually and on behalf of each of the massage therapists, nail technicians, estheticians,
`
`and hair stylists who worked at the Spa Grande located within the Grand Wailea-Waldorf Astoria
`
`Resort, 3850 Wailea Ananui Drive, Wailea, Hawai`i, 96753 (hereinafter, “the Spa”) at any time during
`4
` SECOND AMENDED CLASS AND COLLECTIVE ACTION COMPLAINT

`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-00104-JMS-KJM Document 114-2 Filed 02/16/24 Page 9 of 76 PageID.1986
`
`
`the relevant statutes of limitation, and who Defendants misclassified as “independent contractors”
`
`(hereinafter, “Plaintiffs and the Putative Class Members” or “the Spa workers”).
`
`2.
`
`At any given time during the statutorily relevant time period, Defendants employed more
`
`than ninety (90) massage therapists and more than twenty-five (25) nail technicians, estheticians, and
`
`hair stylists, as well as “lead” technicians, to work at the Spa, each of whom Defendants willfully
`
`misclassified as independent contractors. According to Defendants’ records produced in this lawsuit,
`
`the number of workers for the Defendants who worked at the Grand Wailea and were classified by
`
`Defendants as independent contractors is at least one hundred and ninety (190) individuals.
`
`3.
`
`Defendants Waldorf=Astoria Management LLC operating as Grand Wailea, a Waldorf
`
`Astoria Resort; GW Manager LLC, dba Grand Wailea, a Waldorf Astoria Resort; BRE Iconic GWR
`
`Owner LLC; and BRE Hotels & Resorts LLC; (collectively, the “corporate Defendants”) and John Paul
`
`Oliver; Allan Federer; Joseph Berger; Bart Santiago; (collectively, the “individual Defendants”) and
`
`DOES 1-25 are corporate entities and individuals who currently own and manage the Grand Wailea
`
`resort, including the Spa, and/or did so during the statutorily relevant time period.
`
`4.
`
`By virtue of Defendants’ misclassification, Plaintiffs and the Putative Class Members
`
`neither received mandatory benefits to which they are entitled under state and federal law, including
`
`but not limited to workers’ compensation insurance, short-term disability insurance, retirement and
`
`social security benefits, unemployment insurance, and health insurance, nor employment benefits that
`
`Defendants provide to their W-2 employees. Further, Defendants failed to pay Plaintiffs and the
`
`Putative Class Members all wages owed, including the minimum and overtime wages to which they
`
`are entitled, and penalties for late wages under federal and state law.
`
`5.
`
`Prior to and after being put on express written notice of their unlawful misclassification
`
`of Plaintiffs and the Putative Class Members, the corporate and individual Defendants engaged in a
`
`pattern of racketeering conduct that consisted of repeated and continuous acts of mail and wire fraud,

` SECOND AMENDED CLASS AND COLLECTIVE ACTION COMPLAINT
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-00104-JMS-KJM Document 114-2 Filed 02/16/24 Page 10 of 76 PageID.1987
`
`
`conducted with the aim of escaping payment obligations mandated by state law, with respect to
`
`workers’ compensation insurance, for example, and mandated by federal law, with respect to the
`
`Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”), for example.
`
`6.
`
`Accordingly, Plaintiffs and the Putative Class Members seek all available relief under
`
`the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. § 201, et seq. (“FLSA”); the Racketeer Influenced and
`
`Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1961, et seq. (“RICO”); Hawai`i Revised Statutes §§ 383-73,
`
`383-142, 387-12, 388-2, 388-3, 388-10, 392-41, 392-47, 393-11, 393-33, 480-13 and 842; and Hawai`i
`
`common law.
`
`7.
`
`Plaintiffs’ FLSA claims are asserted as a collective action under Section 16(b) of the
`
`FLSA while their RICO and state law claims are asserted as a class action under Federal Rule of Civil
`
`Procedure 23(b)(3) (“Rule 23”).
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`8.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331 as
`
`this is an action arising under 29 U.S.C. §§ 201–19 and 18 U.S.C. § 1961, et seq.
`
`9.
`
`This Court has supplemental jurisdiction over the additional state law claims pursuant
`
`to 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a) because the state law claims arise from a common set of operative facts and are
`
`so related to the claims within this Court’s original jurisdiction that they form a part of the same case
`
`or controversy.
`
`10.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants because the causes of action arose
`
`within this District as a result of Defendants’ conduct within this District. Defendants purposefully
`
`availed themselves of the privileges of conducting activities in the State of Hawai`i and established
`
`contacts sufficient to confer jurisdiction.
`
`11.
`
`This Court also has personal jurisdiction over the individual Defendants (also hereinafter
`
`6
` SECOND AMENDED CLASS AND COLLECTIVE ACTION COMPLAINT
`
`

`

`Case 1:23-cv-00104-JMS-KJM Document 114-2 Filed 02/16/24 Page 11 of 76 PageID.1988
`
`
`referred to as “co-conspirators” or the “RICO enterprise”)—one of whom, Defendant Joseph Berger, is a
`
`nonresident of the forum state—and venue is proper because this court possesses personal jurisdiction
`
`over at least one co-conspirator based on a traditional minimum contacts analysis with the forum state,
`
`there is no other district in which a court would have personal jurisdiction over all of the alleged co-
`
`conspirators, and a single nationwide RICO conspiracy exists. The individual Defendants entered into a
`
`contractual relationship and settlement agreement centered in the forum state of Hawai`i which related
`
`to the same unlawful employment practices affecting Plaintiffs and the Putative Class Members; and
`
`thus, Plaintiffs and the Putative Class Members sustained harm as a result of the individual Defendants’
`
`forum contacts and their conspiracy to further conceal and continue the unlawful misclassification of
`
`the Spa workers.
`
`12.
`
`Venue is proper in the U.S. District Court of Hawai`i under 28 U.S.C.§1391(b)(2) in that
`
`this is the judicial district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claims
`
`occurred.
