Nicholas & Tomasevic: Decision is a win for logistics
workers in California
LOS
ANGELES, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NEWS PROVIDED
BY Shaun Markley -- This week, a Los Angeles federal court granted final
approval of a $4.2 million settlement
between long-haul truck drivers out of ports in LA and San Diego who drove for STG Logistics
(formerly XPO Logistics). The class action sought relief for
wage/hour violations under California's Labor Code and related laws. STG
is also ending its independent contractor owner-operator model in
California.
Class members who drove for XPO/STG will make over $7,500 on average after accounting for attorney's
fees and other deductions from the settlement. Class counsel
believe this is a strong result for the claims at issue.
Nicholas & Tomasevic attorneys Craig
Nicholas and Shaun Markley
represent the class. Case Number 2:23-cv-01301-AB-KS, in
the U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California.
