Description
SOPER, C.J.: The Secretary of Labor brings this suit under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, against Lublin, McGaughy and Associates, a co-partnership, and against the individual members of the firm who are architects and engineers with a main office in Norfolk, Virginia, and a branch office in Washington, D.C. The complaint charges that the defendants have violated various sections of the statute, in that they have employed many persons in interstate commerce and in the production of goods for interstate commerce for workweeks longer than forty hours without compensating them for the excess hours of employment at rates not less than one and one-half (1 1/2) times the regular rates at which they were employed, in violation of Sections 7 and 15(a)(2) of the statute; and in that they have failed to keep adequate records of their employees wages and hours and other conditions - as prescribed by the Federal Regulations - in violation of Sections 11(c) and 15(a)(5) of the Act; and in that they have transported goods in interstate commerce, in the production of which many of their employees had been employed, in violation of Section 7 of the Act. An injunction was prayed restraining the defendants from further violation of the statute. The District Judge, after hearing, denied the relief prayed, resting his decision in large part on the conclusion that the plans and specifications prepared by the firm were not "goods" within the meaning of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
