Title: Why wage and hour litigation is skyrocketing Author: Lydia DiPillis Source: Washington Post
*Date:* Dec 1, 2015
*Summary:* It's no doubt a rare thing for America to become *less* litigious on any given issue. But the growth in lawsuits under one law in particular — the Fair Labor Standards Act http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/hrg.htm, which sets the nation's minimum-wage and overtime levels — has been particularly dramatic.
