Thousands of persons have performed unpaid "volunteer" work for America Online during the 1990's and through June of 2005 when AOL terminated its "Community Leader" program. In 1999 a group of former AOL Community Leaders ("CLs") filed a class action lawsuit against AOL seeking the payment of minimum wages for the valuable work they performed for AOL. This web page is maintained by the attorneys representing the CLs who filed the lawsuit.
