Re: Mandatory meetings
It depends on many factors. It sounds like the mandatory meetings may be a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA")or the Floridaa equivalent. However, those statutes only apply in certain circumstances, and then there are exceptions and exemptions.
I would be very interested in hearing more about your situation. You should also know that since there is a chance that the claims are federal in nature, it might be less important for you to hire an attorney geographically close to you.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss your potential case further.
