Case: Wage & Hour/Fair Labor Standards Act (D. Utah)

A federal district court denied Kennecott Utah Copper LLC’s motion to dismiss overtime wage claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act brought by a haulage operator who alleged that non-discretionary bonuses were not included in his regular rate of pay for overtime calculations, finding that FLSA claims are not preempted by either the National Labor Relations Act or Labor-Management Relations Act because FLSA rights exist independently of collective bargaining agreements and do not require interpretation of such agreements.
