Some time ago there was a lot of talk about a certain well known manufacturer that wasn't paying their tech's overtime for travelling at the end of the day, and also felt the company should not have to pay the first 1/2 hour of the day for the guys that worked on the road and used a company vehicle to get to their first service call, also would not pay for two 15 minutes breaks per 8 hour shift.

If Im correct, some of the techs got together and started a class action lawsuit against the company. This started in California, where else, and I just wonder how far it went and what the final status is. I would still like feedback from you guys that can shed any light on what management is doing in the wage debate issue. Thanks
