Well, it looks like the federal court just saved the City millions of dollars in back pay and current pay for firefighters. This lawsuit has been in litigation for a while, and many firefighters were named as plaintiffs.
All firefighters know that when they are hired on, that they will be working 24 hr. shifts. They were told that when they applied for the position. To me, it's just another way to get more money from the City, except this time, they lost.

The firefighters said they are owed millions in overtime pay because they're hourly workers.
The city argued that firefighters are salaried employees and not due the extra pay.
A federal jury agreed with the city in a verdict returned this morning
