Tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. PT, the Writers Guild of America West will announce a second lawsuit against a network and a reality show producer. This new “lawsuit charges major broadcasting network and reality TV producer with gross violations of California’s wage and hour laws.” According to a WGAw media advisory, the new “Plaintiffs allege they were instructed to falsify timecards, as well as subjected to violations of overtime laws and 15-hour days with no meal periods.”
