Judge Rules On Suit Sets Hearing May 7
A district judge in El Reno Oklahoma issued a temporary restraining order delaying the nine wage and hour codes from taking effect May 1. A May 7 hearing was set to decide a permanent injunction, though the judge doubted readiness to defend constitutionality. The case affects about 300,000 workers in dry cleaning, laundry, garages, stations, retail and wholesale, drug stores, hotels, offices and restaurants. The Associated Industries argued the law improperly centralizes wage and hour powers, while officials noted potential retroactive pay questions if the restraining order holds.
