A class-action lawsuit claims that XPO Logistics used a deliberate scheme to misclassify their truck drivers as independent contractors, thus denying them the protections available to employees under California law.
The lawsuit was filed by attorneys Julie Gutman Dickinson and C. Joe Sayas Jr. on Monday, Feb. 26 in the Superior Court of California.
“This class action seeks to enjoin the defendants’ unlawful conduct, to obtain restitution of unpaid wages and unlawful deductions made from truck drivers’ pay, and to prosecute a private enforcement action to collect civil penalties under the Labor Code Private Attorney General Act,” the lawsuit said.
