A group of northern California firefighters has filed a lawsuit against the Menlo Park Fire Protection District over the time they spend picking up uniforms and other gear before their shifts begin. The lawsuit claims that firefighters should be paid for the time they spend driving to different stations and picking up and dropping off gear.
The employees’ lawsuit is seeking “monetary damages in the form of full back pay compensation, liquidated damages equal to their unpaid compensation, plus interest.”
