IBM in class action suit for allegedly not paying overtime - 01/26/06

By Doug Cunningham

San Francisco attorney Steve Zieff says the class action lawsuit against IBM alleging unpaid overtime for tens of thousands of workers will be a big case with IBM liable for millions of dollars.

[Steve Zieff] : "We think what they've done is illegal. The motivation I think is pretty simple. By not paying overtime - statutorily required - they're saving themselves a whole lot of money at the workers' expense."
