Diligent Delivery Systems driver files class action over alleged wage and hour law violations

Law money 12

LOS ANGELES – A delivery driver alleges his current employer has not paid for overtime work and other wage violations.

Ryan Gordon filed a complaint on behalf of all others similarly situated on March 6 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division against Michigan Logistics Inc., doing business as Diligent Delivery Systems; California Logistics Inc., doing business as Diligent Delivery Systems; and Interamerican Motor Corp. alleging violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage and hour laws.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that he has worked for the defendants since 2006. The plaintiff holds Michigan Logistics Inc., doing business as Diligent Delivery Systems; California Logistics Inc., doing business as Diligent Delivery Systems; and Interamerican Motor Corp. responsible because the defendants allegedly misclassified the plaintiff as an independent contractor in order to avoid paying him any overtime wages, and required drivers to pay for insurance, gas and vehicle maintenance.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks statutory penalties, damages, liquidated damages, restitution, interest, all legal fees and any other relief as the court deems just. He is represented by Jahan C. Sagafi and Relic Sun of Outten & Golden LLP in San Francisco.
