The Coca-Cola Company allegedly failed to provide employees with all legally required meal and rest breaks, which allegedly resulted in missed wages.
ORANGE, Calif., March 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Los Angeles employment law attorneys, at Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, filed a class action lawsuit against The Coca-Cola Company alleging the company violated the California Labor Code. The lawsuit against The Coca-Cola Company is currently pending in the Orange County Superior Court, Case No. 30-2023-01305257-CU-OE-CXC. To read a copy of the Complaint, please click here.
According to the class action complaint, the company's non-exempt employees were allegedly unable to take off-duty meal breaks due to their rigorous work schedules. California labor laws require an employer to provide an employee required to perform work for more than five (5) hours during a shift with, a thirty (30) minute uninterrupted meal break prior to the end of the employee's fifth (5th) hour of work and a second uninterrupted meal break when employees are required to work ten (10) hours. The Complaint claims that the company did not provide their employees who forfeited meal breaks additional compensation.
Additionally, Plaintiff went on protected leave for health reasons. In alleged retaliation for taking the protected leave, Defendant terminated Plaintiff's employment. Allegedly, DEFENDANT's decision and real motivation to terminate PLAINTIFF was in retaliation for PLAINTIFF for taking the protected leave for her worsening stress condition.
