California Court of Appeal
Flowers v. LA County Metro. Transp. Auth., 256744
In an appeal concerning overlapping provisions of the Labor Code, the Public Utilities Code (PUC), and an Industrial Welfare Commission (IWC) wage order governing the wages, hours, and working conditions of transit operators employed by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the order sustaining the demurrer to the second cause of action for violation of the minimum wage requirements under Labor Code section 1194 and wage order 9 and to the third cause of action for civil penalties under PAGA for violation of the minimum wage requirements is reversed where PUC sections 30257 and 30750 do not exempt the MTA from rest period and minimum wage requirements, but the rest period requirements do not apply to the MTA operators who are the putative plaintiffs in this action.
