Virgin Galactic, a space tourism company founded by British business magnate Richard Branson, was hit with a wage-and-hour lawsuit on Nov. 3 in California Superior Court for Los Angeles County for claims under the Private Attorneys General Act. The court action, filed by the Colby Law Firm, contends that Virgin Galactic misclassifies employees as exempt, resulting in a failure to pay overtime wages or provide required meal and rest breaks in violation of California labor law regulations. Counsel have not yet appeared for the defendant. The case is 23STCV27067, Grylls v. Virgin Galactic.
