San Francisco Attorneys File Class Action Against RMA for Labor Violations Including Meal and Rest Break Issues

Class Action Lawsuit Against RMA Northern California Management, LLC

In a significant legal move, employment law attorneys from Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP filed a class action lawsuit against RMA Northern California Management, LLC. The suit was lodged in the San Francisco County Superior Court and asserts multiple violations of the California Labor Code, focusing on the company's alleged failure to provide legally mandated meal and rest periods for employees.

Allegations Against RMA

The complaint, identified as Case No. CGC-25-628469, alleges that RMA failed to ensure their employees received proper compensation and the required breaks during work hours. Specifically, the attorneys representing the plaintiffs highlighted that the company neglected to provide:

1. Minimum wage payments
2. Overtime wages for extended work hours
3. Legally required meal and rest breaks
4. Accurate itemized wage statements
5. Reimbursement for necessary expenses incurred by employees
6. Sick wages as stipulated by law
7. Timely disbursement of wages due to employees

These alleged failures are claimed to breach various sections of the California Labor Code including Sections 201, 203, 226, 226.7, 246, and other pertinent wage orders, resulting in potential civil penalties for RMA.

Rigorous Work Schedules

Furthermore, the lawsuit clarifies that RMA pressured employees to work during their designated meal and rest breaks. This oversight allegedly allowed the company to manipulate time records to avoid paying penalties associated with missed breaks. Many employees reportedly worked shifts exceeding five hours without being granted a meal break, and those who typically worked ten-hour shifts frequently did not receive a second off-duty meal period. These activities constitute violations of California Labor Code §§ 1194, 1197, and 1197.1, further emphasizing the severity of the charges.
