Four warehouses in Mira Loma are being singled out in the lawsuit. The warehouses are owned by Schneider logistics.
But according to the
lawsuit, the warehouses are leased and operated for the sole use of
Walmart. Attorneys for warehouse workers say up to 1800 Walmart
employees are victims of millions of dollars in wage fraud.
"We
allege that Walmart has deliberately turned a blind eye to the systemic
violation of worker rights taking place in the warehouses in order to
increase its profits on the backs of those workers," said attorney
Michael Rubin.
David Acosta has worked at the warehouses for three years and is one of the workers named in the lawsuit.
"We
would work from 12 to 16 hours a day just with a lunch break, we didn't
get any additional rest breaks," Acosta said through a translator.
