A lawsuit filed on behalf of 900 Starbucks store managers who say they are glorified baristas and should be eligible for overtime came one step closer to trial Friday. U.S. District Judge Kenneth A. Marra in West Palm Beach, Fla., ruled that the plaintiffs in the case were "similarly situated" and the case could continue as a class action. The case could cost the company tens of millions of dollars if the store managers prove that they are improperly classified as being exempt from overtime laws.
