       Rhonique Green and Olivia Giddings appeal the district court’s order

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

granting Bank of America’s motion to dismiss. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291 and now reverse and remand.

      Wage Order 7-2001 § 14 states: “All working employees shall be provided

with suitable seats when the nature of the work reasonably permits the use of seats.”

The district court erred when it assumed a requirement, not in the text of the Wage

Order, that employees must request seating before it is offered.

      Plaintiffs alleged that the nature of their work reasonably permits the use of

seats. Because we are reviewing a dismissal for failure to state a claim, we assume

for purposes of decision that the factual allegations of the complaint are true. See

Skilstaf, Inc. v. CVS Caremark Corp., 669 F.3d 1005, 1014 (9th Cir. 2012). We

intimate no view on whether such seating as may be provided to the employees is

"suitable." Nor do we intimate any view as to whether the nature of their work

"reasonably permits the use of seats." Those factual issues may be developed on

remand.

      Likewise, Bank of America’s argument that any award under California’s

Private Attorneys General Act, Cal. Lab. Code § 2698 et seq., would be unjust is

premature. The reasonableness of any award depends on the facts of the case, which

have not yet been developed.

      Finally, Green has alleged sufficient injury to satisfy Article III standing

requirements. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 561-62 (1992)
                                            -3-
(noting that if “the plaintiff is himself an object of the action (or forgone action) at

issue . . . there is ordinarily little question that the action or inaction has caused him

injury”).

       REVERSED and REMANDED.
