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 .
