Dallas Lawsuits Question Labor Demands of Email and Cellphones

In the suit, Mr. Rulli said he was handcuffed to his phone because the company required him to quickly respond to messages at any hour, said Weinberg Law Firm, Labor Lawyer Dallas.

CB Richard Ellis declined to address the specifics but said in a statement, "We believe this complaint is without merit and are contesting it vigorously." The company said it complies with employment laws.
