NATION-WIDE COLLECTIVE ACTION

Lawsuit Against UPS Supply Chain Solutions, on behalf of drivers classified as so-called "independent contractors."

In July, 2008, five former drivers for UPS Supply Chain Solutions ("UPS SCS") filed a class-action lawsuit against UPS SCS in Federal District Court for the Northern District of California, LaBrie, et al v. UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., Case No. C08-03182. This lawsuit claimed that UPS SCS deprived its drivers of the legal protections to which "employees" are entitled by improperly classifying them as "independent contractors."

UPS SCS settled LaBrie for $12.8 million for the approximately 660 drivers in the class.

Hundreds of current and former UPS SCS drivers did not sign consent forms and thus could not participate in the settlement. Some of those drivers did not learn about the suit and others were concerned about possible retaliation. A new lawsuit is now being filed to cover those drivers who did not participate in LaBrie, and also on behalf of current drivers who continued to work for UPS SCS after November 1, 2009 and may have continuing claims for overtime under the federal overtime law.

If you are a current or former driver for UPS SCS, you may have an interest in this lawsuit. To join the federal claims in this lawsuit, you must submit a Consent To Become Party Plaintiff.
