SEATTLE (AP) — Taco Bell vio
lated state wage laws by pressuring
workers to pick up trash and do
other tasks without pay before or
after their regular shifts, a jury
ruled yesterday.
The 12-member King County Su
perior Court jury was unanimous on
the two most critical questions, find
ing that the violations showed a pat
tern of failing to pay overtime and
were committed willfully with an in
tent to deprive employees of pay. The
ruling could affect 12,000 to 13,000
workers in Washington state.
The seven-man, five-woman jury
had deliberated for 7 1 / 2 days over a
two-week period since receiving the
case March 26.
The amount of back pay and
damages to be awarded will be set in
a separate hearing, the format of
which has yet to be determined.
Taco Bell, a Mexican fast-food
chain based in Irvine, Calif., said it
would appeal.
Company vice president Jonathan
Blum said that company officials be
lieve any violations were isolated, not
a systemwide problem, and that they
would appeal the jury’s finding that
the problems were systemic.
Because of that finding, every
body who worked at 62 company-
owned restaurants in the past five
years becomes eligible for damages,
not just the seven who brought the
original lawsuit.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs said they
would probably seek a court order to
bring Taco Bell into compliance.
Among other things, one witness
testified she had to make up worker
schedules at home, without com
pensation. She also had to partic
ipate in “cleaning parties” before cor
porate inspections were scheduled,
and the only pay was some pizza, she
said. The company said there were a
few “unfortunate incidents” but no
pattern of abuse.
The plaintiffs had argued that the
company violated labor laws at 62
corporate-owned restaurants m
Washington over the past five years.
The violations involved employ"
ees waiting until after they starte
. I' .!• • '
their shifts to clock in, workingai
clocking out, working dump )0
and rest breaks, and failing to rec; 1V J
work on company records.
They contended that thepayl^
regional managers in charge
Taco Bells in the state was tied
holding down labor costs amo:
minimum-wage employees,ma:
of them minors, people withie
job skills and little educationont
cent immigrants who spokefej
fish as a second language.
Eager for even low-payir
they were required to pickuptui
prepare food and do other uirai
work before and after the time:?
were supposed to begin work,;
lawsuit contended.
