Order Decertifying The Class In Miller, et al., v. ThedaCare, et al.

In this ruling issued on January 18, 2018, a federal judge decertified a class-action complaint about failure to honor breaks. The complaint was filed by employees of Thedacare, a Wisconsin health and hospital system. The employees alleged that Thedacare policies violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by forcing them to work through their unpaid lunch breaks without compensation. The judge decertified the class because the evidence presented indicated no corporate intent to avoid complying with the FLSA . . .
