Approximately 15,000 security guards were awarded nearly $90 million in a class-action lawsuit against their employer, ABM Security Services, which had allegedly denied the workers proper rest breaks, according to an article from NBC: Southern California.

Security guards were required to remain on duty during break periods with their cell phones or pagers turned on, according to court papers about the case. Superior Court Judge John Wiley ruled Friday that the policy did not give the guards legitimate rest breaks and therefore violated California labor laws, stating that “if you are on call, you are not on break.”
