U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3753 U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Sioux City
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Beam and Smith, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Fair Labor Standards Act. In action alleging Tyson violated the Fair Labor Standards Act by giving the employees insufficient paid time to cover compensable pre-and post-production line activities ("donning and doffing"), the district court did not err in certifying the FLSA collective action under Rule 23; sufficient evidence was produced to support a "reasonable inference" of classwide liability where plaintiffs used individual time sheets, along with average time calculated from a sample of 744 observations of employees donning, doffing and walking to prove their claims; evidence was sufficient to account for any uncompensated work. Judge Beam, dissenting.
