The lawsuit filed against Morgan Southern Trucking by the San Francisco employment law attorneys at Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik alleges that the transportation company failed to have a policy that allowed their truck drivers off-duty uninterrupted meal and rest periods as required by the California Labor Code. The Morgan Southern Trucking class action claims that the failure to provide meal breaks before the truck drivers' fifth hour of work is evidenced by Morgan Southern Trucking's business records which allegedly contain no evidence of meal breaks.
The class action lawsuit also alleges that the truck drivers were paid on a piece-rate basis. The lawsuit alleges that the truck drivers were not paid all minimum wages to which they were owed because the transportation company allegedly only paid them on a piece-rate basis based on the amount of driving these workers completed. The class action claims that the truck drivers should have been paid minimum wages for their non-driving tasks, these tasks allegedly included time spent waiting for Defendant's loads to be ready for transport, among other non-driving tasks.
