CRST Expedited Faces Class Action Over Alleged California Labor Violations

The complaint, registered as Case No. CVRI2603398, outlines a broad pattern of alleged misconduct under California Labor Code sections 201-203, 226, 226.7, 510, 1194, and 2802. According to the filing, the company allegedly utilized time-rounding practices that resulted in underpayment for actual hours worked, while simultaneously failing to meet minimum wage and overtime requirements.

Beyond compensation disputes, the lawsuit highlights concerns regarding off-duty meal and rest periods. Plaintiffs claim they were frequently denied the legally mandated ten-minute rest breaks, which vary in frequency based on shift length. The suit also asserts that the company failed to reimburse workers for necessary business expenses and did not provide adequate sick leave or timely final wages upon termination. The firm behind the litigation, Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, is seeking to hold the defendant accountable for these alleged labor infractions through civil penalties.
