A Middle District of Pennsylvania federal judge has certified a class of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. and Adecco USA Inc. employees who have sued under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 alleging DuPont failed to pay them for both coming in early and for time spent putting on and taking off equipment and uniforms.

In Smiley v. E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., U.S. District Judge James M. Munley of the Middle District of Pennsylvania granted the plaintiffs' motion for certification of a class including all 12-hour shift employees at DuPont's plant in Towanda, Pa., who were not compensated for either coming in early for shift relief or for time spent donning and doffing uniforms and protective gear.
