U.S. District Judge William Alsup blasted a proposed class action settlement recently for giving plaintiffs attorneys up to $2.25 million in fees while leaving former Oracle Corp. employees with “dimes on the dollar” for unpaid overtime claims.

The plaintiffs are represented by San Francisco’s Schneider & Wallace and Santa Barbara solo Christina Djernaes; Oracle is represented by Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker.
