Workers at the Greeley, Colorado, beef processing plant of Monfort, Inc., are required to spend time before and after their shift putting on and removing special safety equipment and at the end of the shift cleaning the special gear worn by these knifepersons. The workers believe that they are entitled to be paid for this "work." The employer believes that it is not "work" for which they should be paid. Is there a government agency that employees may turn to that has the power to evaluate their claim for additional pay and, if appropriate, seek a remedy on their behalf? Are the employees entitled to pay for the functions performed before and after their shifts? If so, at what rate? [Reich v. Monfort, No. 92-M-2456 (D. Colo., Nov. 15, 1996)]
