City drivers sue over meal breaks and overtime pay
DPS drivers claim they are not fully relieved during 24 hour shifts and must stay in uniform during meal periods. They allege 18 hours of meal time should be compensable under FLSA, totaling 216 hours in a 27 day cycle, with six hours regular time and 12 hours overtime. Dispatchers seek back pay for on call meal breaks and six extra overtime hours per period for three years. Legal actions filed in U.S. District Court.
