United States Eighth Circuit

In an action alleging that defendants-employers violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to pay certain overtime compensation, an order requiring the employers to pay liquidated damages is affirmed over claims that the district court erred in granting summary judgment with respect to whether they: 1) established a good faith defense; and 2) proved reasonable grounds for believing they had not violated the FLSA.
