United States Eleventh Circuit

In cases arising from some of the "donning and doffing" litigation, alleging compensation is owed for time spent putting on and taking off protective or sanitary clothing necessary for work, dismissal of cases for failure to comply with the consent requirement of 29 U.S.C. section 216(b) is affirmed as consents filed by the plaintiffs in a previous lawsuit (Anderson v. Cagle's, Inc.) were limited to that litigation and they do not carry over to the present litigation.
