FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Two Starbucks baristas are suing the world's largest coffee shop chain, alleging they were denied overtime pay in violation of federal law. The lawsuit was filed June 3 in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale. It alleges the two employees were denied overtime pay because they were classified as store managers, although less than 10 percent of their time was spent on managerial duties. They are seeking unpaid overtime compensation damages and attorneys' fees. They are also seeking class-action status for their lawsuit.
