SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PRWEB) November 22, 2017 -- The Sacramento employment law lawyers at Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik filed a class action lawsuit against Hendrickson Truck Lines, Inc. and Peoplease, LLC, alleging the transportation companies failed to pay their employees working as Truck Drivers in California for all their time spent working and allegedly failed to provide all legally required meal and rest periods under California law. The pending class action lawsuit against Hendrickson Truck Lines, Inc. and Peoplease, LLC, is currently pending in the Sacramento County Superior Court, Case No. 34-2017-00222270.

The Complaint alleges that Plaintiff and other employees working as truck drivers for the companies in California performed the manual task of transporting goods for Hendrickson Truck Lines, Inc., and Peoplease, LLC, and were allegedly paid on a piece-rate basis only. Further, the class action lawsuit alleges that the California truck drivers were not paid minimum wages to which they were entitled to because of the companies alleged failure to record all time worked.

The pending class action lawsuit against both Hendrickson Truck Lines, Inc. and Peoplease, LLC, alleges that the companies failed to have a policy or practice which provided a full off-duty, thirty minute uninterrupted meal break to their California truck drivers. Consequently, truck driver employees working for the California companies allegedly forfeited meal and rest breaks without additional compensation.
