On March 18, 2009, the Northern District of California
certified a nation-wide class of delivery drivers in
LaBrie v. UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., No.
08-cv-3182, a case challenging the misclassification of UPS
Supply Chain Solutions drivers as "independent contractors."
Through its sham "independent contractor" arrangement, UPS
has deprived its drivers across the country of the minimum
wages and overtime pay they are entitled to by law, while
reaping financial rewards for itself. The court's March 18
order expands the case to cover not only the five brave
workers who brought suit to vindicate their rights, but also
every current or former driver who has worked for UPS Supply
Chain Solutions in the past four years who opts into this
litigation. For more information about this lawsuit and how
