Former Ruby Tequila's employees file class action lawsuit for back wages
AMARILLO -- Sixty-three former Ruby Tequila’s Mexican Kitchen employees filed a joint class action lawsuit Thursday morning to recover back wages from their ex-employers.
The lawsuit lists Richard Kevin Foote, his company Fired Up Holdings Co., Magdalena Baier — Foote’s business partner — R Tequila Acquisition, Chalak Mitras Group and Gurdev and Rajeev Singh Gill as co-defendants.
Chalak Mitras, a Dallas-based investment group, sold the four Ruby Tequila’s locations to Fired Up Holdings in May, two months before the Tex-Mex eatery abruptly closed.
When Ruby Tequila’s was shuttered in July, the lawsuit alleges, several employees lost their homes and remain barred from collecting unemployment benefits.

Fired Up Holdings Company has other restaurant operations in Amarillo, Lubbock and El Paso. The class action lawsuit could expand up to over 400 former employees.
