W.E. failed to pay minimum wages. They don't pay for orientation, claim that its a job interview. Who would go on a greyhound bus for 12 hours, and do a week long job interview? Makes no sense.

You're not an employee until they say you are. This is a losing case already.
-
it's not only about orientation. the refresher drivers get paid low wages. $200 to $300 a week. thats less then the min amount required by federal law.

The other thing is... Trucking doesn't fall under flsa...that's why a lot of these shyster co's do what they do..
joseph1135 and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
They still owe me about 1800 I'd sign up for any law suit out there against western.
-
weatern isn't the only one with free orientation.
-
If drivers are required to fill out logs during orientation,then they should pay.They'll be forking a lot of money out once this case is over.
Aamcotrans and just_the Thank this. -
That's true but when companies bring drivers in that are on the Greyhound for hrs drivers aren't going to just quit and then have to pay for their way back home.Unfortunately you'll be going thru the same thing once u start driving.There's so many things wrong with companies and drivers don't find out till they start driving for them.
