General Dynamics call center workers sue over pay
General Dynamics employees who claim they were underpaid for overtime and misclassified in Medicare call centers have filed a lawsuit against Information Technology through Hattiesburg-based law firm Roberts & Associates. Stories in The Washington Post and The New York Times specifically referenced call centers in Hattiesburg and Bogalusa, La. According to The New York Times article, General Dynamics systematically underpaid workers in call centers that serve beneficiaries of Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. The company could owe these workers as much as $100 million in back wages. Workers in these call centers were purposefully asked to complete jobs above their skill levels for the same pay rate in order to skirt federal guidelines on how much contractors can pay workers in various job applications, according to reports. With federal contract work, unless employees train and advance to higher-paying jobs or the federal government provides employees raises, their wages often … [Read more...] about General Dynamics call center workers sue over pay

General Dynamics Positive For 2009
Last Updated Nov 2, 2009 6:03 AM EST General Dynamics (GD) joined Lockheed Martin (LMT) among the large defense contractors as reporting a profit for the most recent quarter. They did see a decline in earnings of almost ten percent though although revenue was up over eight. Unlike some of the other companies General Dynamics is positive that they will have a good year in 2009. Despite the decline in quarterly profits the company raised their estimate for the year as a whole. The company feels that it is well placed to continue some growth over the next few years despite the shake outs in the U.S. defense budget overall. General Dynamics has only seen one major program re-structured by the Obama administration and that was the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).

The company is also … [Read more...] about General Dynamics Positive For 2009
