| Two former assistant managers at Casey's General Stores say the convenience store chain didn't pay them overtime wages. Kristina Jones and Kim Marrs say they plan to file a class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Sioux City today. They claim the Ankeny-based chain didn't pay them for working off-the-clock. Jones worked in several Des Moines stores, while Marrs worked at two stores in Missouri. Their attorney, Scott Peters of Council Bluffs, says there could be hundreds of other people who may qualify for the class action suit. Casey's operates about 1,500 stores in nine states. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
