Cabanas et al v. Cargo Force, Inc.
Filed: March 15, 2017 ◆§ 1:17-cv-20975-JLK
Aircraft ground support and cargo handling services group Cargo Force, Inc. is the subject of a proposed class action claiming the company failed to pay proper wages.
Aircraft ground support and cargo handling services group Cargo Force, Inc. is the subject of a proposed class action claiming the company failed to pay rightful minimum and overtime wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Filed in Florida, the case claims the three named plaintiffs, as well as similarly situated ramp agents, regularly worked 12-hour shifts six or seven days a week without time-and-a-half hourly overtime pay. The case claims the named plaintiffs, specifically, worked a minimum of 60, 72 and 80 hours per week with no lunch breaks on any day.
As with many wage and hour lawsuits, this complaint boils down to off-the-clock work for which employees were allegedly never paid. The plaintiff, the case continues, were allegedly not compensated for on-duty waiting and on-call time controlled by and for the benefit of the defendant. Further, the defendant allegedly employed the practice of rounding down by more than 15 minutes the hours of its employees.
