So what I am assuming from your question is that there was a meeting for one group stating that there would be no overtime but that there is overtime for another group? Generally speaking those that hold the same job needto be treated equally under the law. That includes not only wages, etc., but it also means that they need to be given the same opportunities for advancement, etc. Now, you gave very little information as to the type of company, the number of employees, etc., which could also play a part in this answer. So I would suggest that you call the department of labor to talk about specifics and get the information you need. Good luck.
