Belo Corp.

Carlsbad, CA: Current and former Press-Enterprise distribution supervisors and managers filed a class action lawsuit against the newspaper alleging unpaid overtime and meal breaks. Circulation employees of the newspaper claimed that they were misclassified as exempt from California's overtime and meal break/rest period requirements. Before the matter went to trial, Belo re-classified these employment positions and settled all claims with the current and former employees who worked during the applicable four-year statutory period under California law. The specific terms of the settlement are to remain confidential. (Dec-18-06) [BUSINESS WIRE: BELO OVERTIME]
