San Francisco, CA. Several years after a Federal District Court certified a class of 1,400 Virgin America flight attendants who alleged that their employer violated numerous California state labor laws, U.S. District Court Judge Jon S. Tigar has granted them summary judgment. The flight attendants claimed that they were paid based on a “block time” schedule, which would begin when they arrived at the gate, and end when they left the gate. This meant that they were not paid for time spent writing up incident reports before and after flights, undergoing mandatory training, taking required drug tests, and waiting for passengers to board and deplane. They also allege that they were not provided with accurate wage statements. The flight attendants have now prevailed in their motion for summary judgment, and the case will proceed for the limited purpose of establishing exactly how much they are owed.
