DONNING & DOFFING Decision from the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals Upholds Company’s CBA
Employees of Conagra brought a class action alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act for failure to pay for donning and doffing protective equipment before and after their shifts. Conagra followed its Collective Bargaining Agreement, which did not provide for the donning and doffing time. The employees’ class action lawsuit claimed that the practice of not paying donning and doffing violated the Fair Labor Standard Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 203(o).
