1Opinion of the Court
THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge:
This is an appeal from an order dismissing plaintiffs’ claim for wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“hours worked claim”) and from a judgment notwithstanding the verdict on plaintiffs’ claims of retaliatory discharge (“the retaliation claim”). We affirm the district court’s dismissal of the hours worked claim. However, because we believe that reasonable minds could differ on the merits of the retaliation claim, we reverse the district court’s judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
