Miners Sue For Millions In Back Pay In Port to Port Pay
Miners sue for millions in back pay under the federal wage and hour law. The suits, filed in U.S. district court, name Inland Steel, Youngstown Sheet and Tube Co, and General American Transportation Co as defendants. They seek overtime wages for about 18,000 workers over the last six years based on a Supreme Court ruling that workers must be paid for all time spent on an employer’s premises. Joseph Germano, district director of the Steelworkers union, said investigations would extend to other plants in the district.
