I don't know. Part of me is surprised a lawyer took this case, but the rest of me isn't. I highly doubt the company the skycaps work for guarantees them anything more than a base pay. Are they gonna sue the passengers for not tipping next? Fact of the matter is, it's just as likely that their tips are down b/c the people travelling spent that extra $1-2 in gas driving to the airport.

On another note, if a company cut back your hours, can you sue them for lost wages? Doesn't sound very dissimilar than this situation.
