ALBANY, NY, May 11, 2013 (Press-News.org) The lawsuit, filed on May 6, 2013 in Federal District Court, alleges that Ralph Crawford and McDonald's Corporation engaged in the illegal practice of time-shaving, in which a supervisor trimmed payroll costs by repeatedly and routinely deleting compensable time from its employees.
The class action lawsuit also alleges that defendants routinely deprived employees of a 30 minute uninterrupted lunch break; failed to compensate employees for all hours worked; failed to provide employees with mandatory disclosures concerning their rate of pay; failed to provide employees with mandatory disclosures related to wage deductions; and, deprived employees of overtime.
The lead plaintiff is Jeffrey Schuyler, a former McDonald's employee who was terminated after he reported the wage hour violations to his supervisors. Mr. Schuyler brings individual claims for wrongful discharge in violation of Federal and State Law.
The class action lawsuit is filed on behalf of all non-exempt employees that worked in a Ralph Crawford owned McDonald's franchise over the past 6 years. The estimated size of the class is 500 members.
The case is being prosecuted by Hacker Murphy, LLP, an Albany, NY based litigation firm. For more information please contact Hacker Murphy, LLP at classaction@hackermurphy.com or (800)213-3843.

Flawed diamonds promise sensory perfection

From brain to heart to stomach, the bodies of humans and animals generate weak magnetic fields that a supersensitive detector could use to pinpoint illnesses, trace drugs – and maybe even read minds. Sensors no bigger than a thumbnail could map gas deposits underground, analyze chemicals, and pinpoint explosives that hide from other probes.
Now scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley, working with colleagues from Harvard University, have improved the performance of ...
Discovery pinpoints cause of 2 types of leukemia
2013-05-10
PORTLAND, Ore. − Patients with two forms of leukemia, who currently have no viable treatment options, may benefit from existing drugs developed for different types of cancer, according to a study conducted by researchers at the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
The study, published in the May 9 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine, isolated the molecular mutation that causes chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) in some patients. That mutation, occurring in a gene called colony ...
Young women hold the key to success of 'sunless tanning' products, Baylor researcher finds
2013-05-10
Sunless tanning — whether with lotions, bronzers or tanning pills — has been promoted as an effective substitute to dodge the health risks of ultraviolet rays, but if the products don't provide the perfect tan, young women likely will not use them, according to a Baylor University researcher.
"The feeling is 'I tan, I feel good, I'll look good tomorrow . . . What's health?'" said Jay Yoo, Ph.D., an assistant professor of family and consumer sciences in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences. He conducted a study of 182 Caucasian female college students, with an average age ...
CU study suggests link between tumor suppressors and starvation survival
2013-05-10
A particular tumor suppressor gene that fights cancer cells does more than clamp down on unabated cell division -- the hallmark of the disease -- it also can help make cells more fit by allowing them to fend off stress, says a University of Colorado Boulder study.
CU-Boulder Professor Min Han said the research team was interested in how a common tumor suppressor gene known as Retinoblastoma 1, or Rb, behaved under conditions of starvation. The question is important, said Han, because it may help researchers understand why many cancer cells are more susceptible to starvation ...
Scientists confirm that the Justinianic Plague was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis
2013-05-10
From the several pandemics generally called 'pestilences' three are historically recognized as due to plague, but only for the third pandemic of the 19th to 21st centuries AD there were microbiological evidences that the causing agent was the bacterium Yersinia pestis. "For a long time scholars from different disciplines have intensively discussed about the actual etiological agents of the past pandemics. Only ancient DNA analyses carried out on skeletal remains of plague victims could finally conclude the debate", said Dr. Barbara Bramanti of the Palaeogenetics Group at ...
