Labor Lawsuit Against Starbucks in California

A federal lawsuit has been filed in California alleging that Starbucks didn't pay some supervisors to work overtime and forced some to work through meal breaks. The lawsuit covers managers who worked in Starbucks in California for the last four years.

According to the article, this lawsuit comes after another one in which Starbucks had wrongly classified managers as being exempt from overtime. As a result, managers were paid an hourly wage instead of a salary.

Starbucks has responded that they feel they have complied with all applicable state and federal laws.
