Dallas Lawsuits Question Labor Demands of Email and Cellphones

Last month, three current and former employees sued T-Mobile USA Inc., claiming they were required to use company-issued smart phones to respond to work messages after hours without pay, said Weinberg Law Firm, Labor Lawyer Dallas.

In a March suit, a former CB Richard Ellis Group Inc. maintenance worker seeks pay for time spent after hours receiving and responding to messages on a work-issued cellphone.
