A Nassau County resident, Cummings serves as a crew leader for the Department of Transportation's concrete team, where he’s tasked with repairing sidewalk corners and keeping them accessible for visually impaired pedestrians or those using wheelchairs. His workday runs from 5 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. five days a week, and it’s not uncommon for highway repair crews to work through breaks.
Cummings is a shop steward for the union Local 983, which represents many of the lawsuit’s plaintiffs. “I damn sure wasn’t too happy to hear that I wasn’t getting paid overtime when I was supposed to,” he said.
