The USW reached a settlement in a lawsuit against Riverside Cement Company and TXI, requiring the company to pay out $1.4 million to all USW-represented employees at its Oro Grande and Crestmore facilities. The payments will compensate employees for missed and on-duty meal and rest periods. In addition, former employees who

worked at the two facilities between May 2004 and the present will receive a payment to reflect their time as employees

The $1.4 million will be distributed according to a formula approved by the court and designed to be fair to all employees and former employees, and depending on how they were scheduled, some of them could be eligible for up to$10,000 in compensation for their missed meals and breaks.
