BJT recently represented hundreds of armored car drivers in Washington who were denied meal and rest breaks. In the first case, Hill v. Garda CL Northwest, filed in 2009, the court certified the class in July 2010.  After initial appeals the workers won summary judgment in May 2015.  After a trial on damages, the class was awarded over $8 million for missed breaks between 2006 and February, 2015.  We then filed a second action, Gayken v. Garda CL Northwest, seeking damages for missed breaks after February 2015.  That case was stayed pending the completion of the Hill case.  Garda appealed the judgment in Hill, but the workers prevailed in all respects.  While additional appeals continued, we reached a global settlement of both cases, for a total of $12.5 million. The court granted final approval of the settlement and payments were mailed to participating class members in Spring 2020.
