Missouri Corrections Officers Speak with Gary Burger of Burger Law After a $113 Million Verdict
On August 15th, 2018, a Cole County jury rendered a verdict for a class of Missouri Corrections officers against the Missouri Department of Corrections in the amount of $113,714,632.00. This was slightly over what lead trial attorney Gary Burger of Burger Law requested from the jury. Many thanks to the Cole County court personnel and the jury for their hard work and time devoted to the case. The front line Corrections Officers and Sergeants testified at the trial that the Department of Corrections required them to perform pre and post-shift work but refused to pay them for it. The jury awarded all compensation requested by the Plaintiff class for the 11 year class time period to pay for the wages earned in pre and post-shift activity by these 13,000 class members.
This verdict culminated years of litigation spearheaded by Gary Burger of Burger Law, and who was the lead trial attorney. We are proud to have been able to represent these hard working and honorable men and women.
Corrections officers fight the Missouri Department of Correction’s dishonorable system. Mr. Burger requested the jury hold the Department of Corrections responsible for not fully paying their employees, adding, “when the Department of Corrections breached its agreement with its officers, it is responsible for all the harm it caused,” in the verdict.
We hope the Department of Corrections takes this opportunity to pay this verdict and change its system for the hard-working officers continuing to work and not get fully paid.
