4,000-worker class certified in Boston Market lawsuit
“Plaintiff’s theory of recovery as to the meal periods is that defendant failed to provide employees fully compliant meal breaks, and unlawfully permitted its employees to ‘waive’ their meal breaks on shifts of any length,” Superior Court Judge Kenneth Freeman wrote in his Jan. 11 order.
A Los Angeles judge granted class certification for more than 4,000 Boston Market employees who allege that the restaurant chain failed to provide meal and rest breaks, and did not reimburse expenses for uniforms.
The order, requested by Matern Law Group, affects people who worked for the restaurant on an hourly basis before July 31, 2019. It denies the portion of the rest break claim accruing on or after that date.
