SYNOPSIS: Todd Pacific Shipyards and its employees signed an agreement stating that Todd’s employees would be paid 60¢ for every hour they worked from one date to another. Hisle is hundreds of Todd employees who feel they should be paid overtime (90¢ an hour) for the overtime hours they worked between the dates listed in the agreement. In addition to whether overtime should be paid, this case also addresses whether federal or state courts should hear this case, whether this case was already decided in a prior suit, and whether costs and attorney fees should be granted on appeal.
