Latest Domino’s Lawsuit Claims Manager Was Fired After Complaining About Undocumented Immigrants

Domino’s is at the center of another lawsuit, and this time, it’s due to a manager’s claim that he was fired after complaining about undocumented immigrants.

According to the CT Post, Mohammad Nuruzzaman, a resident of Bridgeport, Connecticut, says he worked at the neighborhood Domino’s for almost 10 years until being unceremoniously sacked.

The lawsuit claims that Nuruzzaman, who had been working at the Main Street Domino’s since January 2014, was regarded as an excellent employee. He rose through the ranks to become a manager.

However, according to the lawsuit, Nuruzzaman was fired on Nov. 18, 2023, after he informed the store’s owner that they were illegally employing undocumented workers in violation of both state and federal law.

“Shortly after reporting the issue of public concern, including the defendant hiring undocumented individuals as employees, the defendant retaliated against the plaintiff by discharging the plaintiff from employment,” the suit states.

He is requesting unspecified damages. John Bochanis, Nuruzzaman’s attorney, declined to comment on the case. The franchise’s attorney, Robin Kallor, did not respond to emails seeking comment.

Domino’s Latest Lawsuit

Despite Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway group’s recent investment into the pizza giant, Domino’s is still at the center of a class-action securities fraud lawsuit.

Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notified Domino’s (referred to as the “Defendants”) investors of the class action complaint in a news release on Sunday, Sept. 29.

All individuals and companies who bought the company stock in any fashion between Dec. 7, 2023, and July 17, 2024, are the plaintiffs in this case. Due to alleged violations of federal securities laws, the pizza company is being sued for damages.

“Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects,” the press release announcing the class action lawsuit states. “Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) DPE, the Company’s largest master franchisee, was experiencing significant challenges with respect to both new store openings and closures of existing stores; (2) as a result, Domino’s was unlikely to meet its own previously issued long-term guidance for annual global net store growth; (3) accordingly, Domino’s business and/or financial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.”
