From talking to some of the Techs there it was started by one of their techs to the labor board. Their standing on this is that the company benifits from them taking the vans home by being closer to the customers and for emergency calls. Also the customer is getting charged for their time to travel to the customer and they don't get payed for it. What if they got in a accident or road rage during that first or last 1/2 hour of the day could they get fired or disiplined for their actions even thou they are not getting payed. Years ago another company had the techs pick up and drop off the vans every day until they found out that the billing dropped down to around 4 hours a day.

Update: The company decided it will take it's chances before a judge it is going to court.
