California Court of Appeal

In three union-represented construction workers' suit against their former employer, on behalf of themselves and a putative class of former and current nonexempt hourly employees of defendant providing on-site construction services at oil refineries, power plants or other industrial facilities, plaintiffs' petition for writ of mandate is granted, and the trial court is directed to vacate its order granting defendant summary judgment as to plaintiffs' claim seeking damages for defendant's failure to pay premium wages required by section 226.7 to compensate its employees for missed second meal periods, as defendant's failure to provide its employees with second meal periods required by section 512 and wage order 16, section 10(B), is subject to an award of premium pay as specified in section 226.7.
