Kaanaana v. Barrett Business Services, Inc.

Summary

The court held that belt sorters working under contract for a county sanitation district were employed on public works under Labor Code section 1720, subdivision (a)(2), and therefore could pursue prevailing-wage claims. The statute's reference to work done for covered districts is not limited to construction-type labor described in a separate statutory provision. The court affirmed the judgment reversing the trial court's order striking the prevailing-wage allegations.
