Former EMC worker sues over 8-day week
A former EMC Corp. employee has filed a lawsuit in Middlesex Superior Court this week alleging that the company forces its workers to put in eight-day work week in violation of state law, according to a story in The Boston Globe.
The plaintiff in the suit, former EMC technical support engineer Kevin T. Bujold, 50, said he was fired in November for refusing to work 10 hours per day for eight days in a row.
EMC has vehemently denied the claims and said it will "vigorously defend" itself in court, according to the story. While federal law says that salaried and management employees can be required to work longer than 40 hours per week without a break or extra pay, state law says that anyone employed by manufacturing, mechanical or retail businesses must receive a 24-hour break after working six consecutive days.
