Current and former employees filed a new class-action lawsuit against United Parcel Service in Colorado federal court. This lawsuit is one of several similar complaints filed concurrently against major companies, including FedEx and Kroger, alleging state labor law violations.
The lawsuit primarily alleges UPS failed to pay hourly employees for mandatory security screenings before and after each shift. Plaintiffs argue Colorado regulations require compensation for this time as part of the continuous workday. The complaint also claims UPS denied workers a paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked.
The lawsuit seeks to recover unpaid minimum and overtime wages for affected workers. It also seeks penalties, interest, and attorneys' fees.
