Bus Drivers Not Provided Meal and Rest Breaks

Background

Settlement Amount: $2,000,000

Case Name: Alonzo v. First Transit

Case Number: 2018 Cal. App. Unpubl. LEXIS 7198 (2018)

This case involved meal and rest periods on behalf of bus drivers. It settled after three years of litigation and two appeals. An objector opposed the settlement and tried to coerce Hunter Pyle Law into terms that were unfavorable to the class members. Hunter Pyle Law prevailed over this objector, both at the trial court and on appeal, and then successfully opposed a petition for review at the California Supreme Court, ensuring that the class members got the settlement that they deserved.
