TQL Screwing its Employees Too

That’s pretty much right up there with the FedEx lawsuits where the company tried to say the owner/operators were “contracted employees” and were ineligible for wages!
F*** around with wage laws and find out!!

 

Shocking!

 

I think this was going on in pretty much every industry. I was involved in the oil industry when it started to shed light on this about 8 or 10years ago. Said it when I first started and they laughed at me. I got paid every hour I worked in the end. I kept very detail records of my hours and work including work locations. Was very easy to prove they classified me wrong. Tried to make it like I was a CDL job even though I never had a CDL and only drove to the sight and back but worked 10-20 hours on sight at a time. Was a slam dunk case just like this one.

In my last career I was a put on a salary after being an hourly guy for many many years. I learned every law about the salary positions at the time because I did not want to be on it. Old company was correct on putting me in as a salary guy, taught me a lot about those kind of situations.
