excerpt

A federal contractor systematically underpaid workers in call 
centers that serve beneficiaries of Medicare and the Affordable 
Care Act, and could owe those employees as much as $100 million 
in back wages, a labor union said in a complaint filed on Friday 
with the Labor Department.  The union, the Communications Workers 
of America, along with 1,600 workers, has accused the contractor, 
General Dynamics Information Technology, of essentially 
misclassifying workers to pay them lower wages. The complaint 
claims that workers were required to perform tasks that were above 
their pay grades, in a bid to pay those workers less than the 
federal government would require if their jobs were properly 
classified.
