OVERTIME * USA - UPS socked with $100 million lawsuit
Shipping giant UPS is being accused of not paying overtime to account managers who go door-to-door making sales pitches to businesses
Atlanta,GA,USA -The Associated Press, by HARRY R. WEBER -20 Aug 2009: ... Laura Meza, a Whittier, Calif., resident who has worked at UPS since it acquired her previous employer trucking company Overnite in 2005, claimed in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in federal court in San Diego that she has regularly worked 60 hours a week but was only paid a straight salary... She said Atlanta-based UPS has misclassified her and other account managers as outside salespersons or administrative employees exempt from overtime pay... Meza said she is on medical leave, partly because of the stress of the long hours... The suit seeks a jury trial, more than $100 million in damages and the payment of attorneys' fees. As a class-action suit, it also seeks to represent other UPS employees who face the same situation as Meza... UPS spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg said the company would need to see the lawsuit before commenting on the specifics...Labels: lawsuits
