Compensation and Overtime: Training Pay is $5.76 Per Hour Below Minimum Wage

My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: FLORIDA

I was employed by a large cable company in Orlando, Florida in May of 2015. The job training was mandatory and setup very late (9) months after the initial hire.

The were required to monitor sales cellular phone with limited access for breaks. We were instructed to try and make sales during these breaks to try and gain more than $5.76 per hour to create a paycheck. The hostile environment and stress of trying to get paid more then $5.76 an hour was immense.

Previous months multiple request for fair training pay was denied.

The company is worth more than 10 Billion dollars and can afford to pay at least state minimum wage of $8.05 and yet refused to do so.

2 weeks was the training period so damages were not great, but does this employee underpayment viewed as abuse and appears it could be countered with a lawsuit. Maybe a group lawsuit since many others have been affected as well.

Does this situation have enough clout to talk with a law firm about a case?

Thanks for your advice.
