California Court of Appeal

In California Correctional Peace Officers' Association's (CCPOA) class action suit against the state of California, through the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), claiming that defendants violated various Labor Code provisions, as well as a wage order promulgated by the Industrial Welfare Commission (IWC), by failing to provide correctional officers with meal periods and by failing to pay for the missed wage periods, trial court's judgment in favor of the defendants is affirmed as sections 512 and 226.7 do not apply to public employers like the state, and Wage Order No. 17 does not apply to CDCR employees.
