Werner gets a win in court | #190



Werner Enterprises has been in a court battle since 2011. A group of trainee driver allege Werner did not pay them for breaks and sleeper time, only $350 a week salary. The sleeper was thrown out but the break stuck and initially Werner lost and was ordered to pay $800000. Well, since math is hard the figures had to be refigured and were turned in late. Werner objected and has won three appeals based on that. Look at how much effort a trucking company will go through to not pay you. Think about it.   I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
