Eric Glatt was in the library at Georgetown Law Center when he got the call last summer. On the other end of the line was his lawyer Juno Turner, an associate at New York’s Golden & Outten. We won, she said. With those two words, Glatt, who holds an MBA from Case Western University and is now working toward a law degree, became the unconventional hero for unpaid interns everywhere.
Nearly two years earlier, Glatt and coplaintiff Alexander Footman had filed a lawsuit against Fox Searchlight Pictures. They accused the studio of violating the Fair Labor Standards Act by not paying them minimum wage for the services they provided as interns on the production of the film “Black Swan.“
