Plaintiffs Dustin Minyard, Jeremy Dutch, and Justin Clark filed a collective action lawsuit against Double D Tong, Inc., Robert Duncan, and Cody Duncan, alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for unpaid overtime. Plaintiffs claimed they and other non-exempt casing employees were not properly compensated for overtime hours, either due to being paid on a quantity basis without all hours being tracked or by excluding additional pay (bonuses, allowances) from their regular rate for overtime calculations. The court initially granted in part and denied in part Plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification, limiting the class to Field Hands and Crew Pushers. However, upon Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration, the court granted the motion, broadening the conditionally certified class to include all non-exempt casing workers who were subject to the alleged common, illegal pay plan, regardless of their specific job duties.
