Employment & Labor Lawyers, At Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, File Lawsuit Against 3M Company, In PAGA-Only Action, Alleging California Labor Code Violations

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) According to the lawsuit filed, 3M Company allegedly failed to provide employees with legally required meal and rest breaks . Specifically, employees were allegedly required from time to time to perform work as ordered by Defendant for more than five (5) hours during some shifts without receiving a meal break. The applicable California Wage Order requires employers to provide employees with off-duty rest periods, which the California Supreme Court defined as time during which an employee is relieved from all work related duties and free from employer control.

PAGA is a mechanism by which the State of California itself can enforce state labor laws through the employee suing under the PAGA who does so as the proxy or agent of the state's labor law enforcement agencies. An action to recover civil penalties under PAGA is fundamentally a law enforcement action designed to protect the public and not to benefit private parties. The purpose of PAGA is not to recover damages or restitution, but to create a means of "deputizing" citizens as private attorneys general to enforce the Labor Code.
