Partner Charles J. Kocher filed a class action against Pepperidge Farm. The lawsuit alleges violations of the FLSA and the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law by misclassifying its delivery drivers as independent contractors when, in fact, they are employees.
“By unlawfully considering their employees as contractors, Pepperidge Farm has shortchanged hundreds of hardworking employees by taking unlawful deductions and refusing to pay overtime” – Charles J. Kocher.
