Estes Express Lines Sued Over Use of Background Report Info
Last Updated on May 8, 2018
McIntosh v. Estes Express Lines (Corporation)
Filed: July 3, 2017 ◆§ 8:17-cv-01609-MSS-AEP
A former employee claims in a class action that Estes Express Lines misused background report information on current and prospective employees.
Estes Express Lines (Corporation) is on the receiving end of a proposed class action alleging violations of both the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
The plaintiff, a former employee, claims Estes routinely obtains and uses information found in prospective and current employees’ background reports and relies on such information for taking adverse employment action. The issue, the case claims, is Estes allegedly does not follow the FCRA’s disclosure and authorization requirements governing the use of consumer information for termination of employment, demotion, failure to hire, or other adverse workplace actions. The plaintiff, more specifically, alleges he was offered a position by the defendant subject to the completion of a background check, but was fired based on information contained in his background report without being provided a copy of the background report in question or a mandatory copy of his rights under the FCRA.
