    If you look back at my post #14, you'll find the name of our current case and the law firm's contact information. Although I think it's too late to join our suit, they might be able to offer some assistance and/or guidance.

    I just spoke with CRE's payroll and asked what this check was for and they said there was additional wages earned while he was driving as a company driver. I asked her if it had anything to do with Orientation and she said no.

    They are probably trying to pay people so they don't sue them for not paying minimum wage. I would check maybe with the law firm about it.

    A gentleman from Swartz Swidler, LLC called me back today, and he indicated that the checks being sent out have no direct relationship with the current Class Action lawsuit against CRE (Kofi Campbell, et al.v. C.R. England, Inc.). He said it should be fine to cash it... no matter how small it might be! :)

    In addition, with regard to the lawsuit itself, it sounds like things are going quite well and this has indeed turned into what sounds like a very LARGE class. When I asked him if other people could still join the class, although one deadline has past, he said that any interested parties should just contact his office to discuss the options in more detail.

    It seems like this Class Action lawsuit against CRE has been pretty quiet lately, so I hope that means the attorneys are busy reviewing what must be tens of thoousands of files. With a little luck, CRE will take a major financial hit from this case. I guess all we can do is wait...

    The company I am starting with soon, told my brother (former CRE driver) and I, that she read recently that England has been ordered to pay $7,000,000 to employees for back pay. Didn't know much more than that.

    I hope you're right about that, although I'm not sure $7,000,000 will be a large enough hit on CRE's wallet to get them to change and treat their drivers better. However, as they say, time will tell.
