A group of workers have filed a class action lawsuit against Amazon, accusing them of shorting overtime pay, and other alleged violations of federal and California labor law, for people who worked in Amazon's delivery stations in California.
The named plaintiffs, Dallas Engler and Lucky Agustin, are representing all individuals who worked in Amazon's delivery stations in California.
They accuse Amazon of failing to pay for every hour worked, not providing premium wages for overtime hours, denying legally mandated meal breaks and rest periods, inadequately indemnifying employees for work-related expenses, and not paying all due wages upon termination of employment.
The alleged violations allegedly occurred from October 2017 through June 2021.
According to the complaint, Engler worked as an hourly wage Assistant Station Manager at a delivery station in Buena Park, along with Agustin, who was identified as an hourly worker at that same delivery station.
The plaintiffs seek to expand the action to include everyone who worked as an ASM or hourly employee at Amazon delivery stations in California since 2017.
The case was filed in Los Angeles federal court on Jan. 22.
The plaintiffs are seeking a court order directing Amazon to pay allegedly unpaid wages and overtime pay and other restitution, plus unspecified compensatory damages and attorney fees.
The plaintiffs are represented by attorneys Jerusalem F. Beligan and Leah M. Beligan, of Beligan Law Group LLP, of Newport Beach; James L. Simon, of Simon Law Co., of Independence, Ohio; and Michael L. Fradin, of Fradin Law, of Skokie, Illinois.
