That's how it works with me...if I have to go to a 10 minute or 1 hour (tops) meeting, I get paid 3 hours. But I'm in Illinois, union....probably big difference.

Under the California Business Code, you must be SCHEDULED to work, arrive to work and be sent home due to lack of work to be paid for the full shift or the minimum 4 hours (depending on how long you were there).
In your situation, it seems that you were not scheduled and were only called in for the meeting. Under those circumstances, you are ONLY required to be paid for the one hour.

I'd imagine they pay you for each hour that you work. Why would they pay you (and every other employee) for 2 hours that werent' worked? That doesn't sound like a fiscally wise business practice.

I can't find anything in the CA labor code that establishes a minimum for work hours - take a look: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&group=00001-01000&file=500-558 and http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab&group=00001-01000&file=200-243
