California Supreme Court justices appeared divided yesterday over whether to allow a pair of Sav-On Drug Stores managers to bring a class action on behalf of hundreds of their fellow employees who did not receive overtime pay. Chief Justice Ronald M. George questioned attorneys for the plaintiffs and Sav-On as to whether it was appropriate for the Court of Appeal to “second-guess” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Irving S. Feffer, who two years ago certified a class of up to 1,400 workers whom the company classified as “operating managers” or “assistant managers” at its 300 retail stores.
