Description
EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge. The United Consumers Club sells both memberships and merchandise. Those who purchase memberships then may buy the merchandise. The plaintiffs are six former sellers of memberships at Uniteds store in Logansport, Indiana. According to plaintiffs testimony, which the district court believed, most worked until 11:00 p.m. five or six days a week, plus occasional Sundays. United did not pay extra for this overtime work but instead treated the plaintiffs as independent contractors whose earnings depended on their sales. The district court held that the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §Â§ 201-16, does not allow Uniteds practice, and it awarded about $19,000 in back wages, which it doubled as liquidated damages under 29 U.S.C. § 216(b). United no longer maintains that its salesmen were independent contractors.
