"Thousands of school bus drivers, teachers' aides, secretaries and janitors for rural school districts around the country are being denied overtime pay they are entitled to. The federal government doesn't know how prevalent the problem is nationwide. However, its investigations so far have resulted in more than $11.2 million in back pay for almost 7,000 workers." (GANNETT NEWS SERVICE) This article reveals that "violations of federal overtime and minimum-wage laws have been documented in several Southern states in the past three years, and lawyers on both sides agree that the hundreds of federal probes and private lawsuits could be the tip of the iceberg."
