Description
This action was instituted by George McClanahan and William Clinger to recover from their employer, William B. Mathews, damages for wages withheld in violation of the minimum wage and maximum hour provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq. (1964). The action was tried to a jury, which found that Mathews had underpaid Clinger and McClanahan in the amounts of $3,200 and $6,445.43, respectively, and judgments were entered accordingly. Thereafter, the District Court refused to award Clinger and McClanahan liquidated damages or pre-judgment interest on the back-pay award. Clinger and McClanahan appealed, asserting that the District Court erred in denying their claims for liquidated damages and pre-judgment interest. The Secretary of Labor has filed a brief as amicus curiae on these issues.
