Theatres in California among Those Cited for Labor Law Violations

In a recent case involving underage workers in California and other states, violations were found under jurisdiction of federal labor law. However, while the California labor code was not cited, labor law in California was impacted nonetheless.

The latter tenet appears to have been lacking in 2008 when a young mother met a horrible death at a California printing plant.

Bag Check Is on the Clock in California

San Francisco, CA There is some refreshing about an attorney like Patrick R. Kitchin who answers his own phone. Maybe that's not always the case, but on this day it was Kitchin, calm and collected, on the other end of the line. Kitchin has tugged on Ralph Lauren's shirttails over violations of California labor law a few times over the years and he's just obtained a $4 million mid-trial settlement on behalf over 6000 current and former employees who objected to the company's off the clock mandatory "bag check."

California Labor Law: Employees Keep Quiet to Keep Their Jobs

Los Angeles, CA Just because an employer does not specifically ask employees to work off the clock does not mean that the employer is not violating California labor laws. If the employer knows that work is being done off the clock, then the employer should be paying for those hours worked, even if that means paying overtime.
