The city of Chicago adopted a wage ordinance pursuant to its home rule unit authority established by the Illinois Constitution.
The plaintiffs, former security guards who provided security services for the defendant in and around the Chicagoland area, filed an action against the defendant security company asserting that the company violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Illinois Minimum Wage Law and the Chicago Minimum Wage and Paid Sick Leave Ordinance. The defendant security company moved for summary judgment.
