Here is a little background....
I work for a company based out of Orange County, but I am based in a sub station and work in San Diego. Over the past year and few months, every day is staffed with a 24 hour crew and the occasional day crew.
For the 24 hour crew, we have been paid the entire 24 hours since I have been hired. After a lawsuit that was filed against my company and lost, regarding break times and such, my company is changing policies and one is that we will only be paid 19 hours for 24 hours of work.
Now I understand that this is possible if proper sleeping, kitchen, and showering facilities are available, but at my current "station" they are not. Where can I find the laws regarding these issues?
Virtually, my company is taking away 5 hours of pay from all the crew down in San Diego without us signing any papers or without any adjustments to our facilities. What can I do about this? Seems as though they wouldn't be able to do this.
