[ABFwife]

Dive Brief:

XPO Logistics has reached a settlement with 3,772 plaintiffs in a case accusing the company of breaking California labor laws by requiring the plaintiffs to work off-the-clock without pay, failing to pay overtime and other allegations, according to a motion for settlement approval filed this past Friday by the plaintiffs.

The $5.5 million settlement will result in an average payout of $935.18 for each plaintiff, 1,981 drivers and 1,791 helpers, according to court documents filed in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California court this week.

The plaintiffs have requested the settlement be given preliminary approval and for the court to set a date for the final approval hearing. A proposed schedule filed by the plaintiffs lists Sept. 4 as the potential date for the preliminary approval hearing.
