BAKERSFIELD – A class-action suit has been filed against a Kern County oilfield service company over allegations it did not pay employees overtime.

William Phillips filed a complaint on behalf of all others similarly situated on May 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, Bakersfield Division against Randy's Trucking Inc., Randy Gene Griffith and Kyle Griffith, citing violation of state labor codes and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
