===Labor law violation===
On January 10, 2007, a Southern California jury found the [[Monterey Park, California|Monterey Park]]-based ''Chinese Daily News'' responsible for failing to give employees breaks, lunches, and overtime, and awarded the plaintiffs $2.5 million. The plaintiffs alleged that they worked over twelve hours per day, were not provided accurate pay statements, and were unfairly interfered with during unionization attempts. In 2001, the employees voted to join the [[Communication Workers of America]], but the [[National Labor Relations Board]] vacated the union vote after finding that the election was tainted. ''Chinese Daily News'' appealed the ruling in the district court, with proceedings held in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal and the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2011, after the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] decided ''Dukes v. Wal-Mart'', the U.S. Supreme Court remanded the case back to the Ninth Circuit for reconsideration in light of Dukes.  On September 13, 2013, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal rejected the district court's grant of class certification under FRCP Rule 23(b)(3).  Upon remand at the district court level, Plaintiffs once again moved for class certification, and the district court recertified the class.

''Chinese Daily News'' thereafter filed a FRCP Rule 23(f) Petition to Appeal, which the Ninth Circuit granted on August 22, 2014. This matter is currently pending briefing at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.pasadenaweekly.com/2007/01/25/principles-price/|author=Kevin Uhrich|title=Chinese Daily News could be out even more money after jury awards workers $2.5 million|journal=Pasadena Weekly|date=2007-01-25|issue=56}}</ref> The Los Angeles area-based ''Chinese Daily News'' was later amalgamated into the New York City-headquartered ''World Journal''.<ref>Law 360, San Diego (March 05, 2013, 10:55 PM ET)</ref><ref>ninth circuit court of appeal No. 08-55483 D.C.
