January 27, 2008 | Best Buy Fucks Over Employees… Class Action Lawsuit in Process. In other news, what else is new?

So I received this little gem in my e-mail. It’s from BusinessWire.com and covers the fact that a class action lawsuit has been filed in New York over the fact that people are being forced to work through their lunch breaks and are being held in the building for “security checks” after being punched out.

Basically, your standard Best Buy SOP that I can fully attest to, because I’ve worked through my lunch breaks and have had to wait for the fucking closing manager to stop playing with themselves. (Oh, I’ll also mention that I’ve had to search manager’s bags while off the clock as well during closing! Yeah. Go figure.)

Now, if this class action lawsuit becomes a country-wide thing, that would be wonderful. Hell, I’ll happily join in, even if the result is a monetary pittance.
