Dec. 15 (UPI) -- New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against logistics giant UPS for unpaid wages of seasonal delivery workers in the state.
The investigation by the Office of the Attorney General found that UPS allegedly "shortchanged seasonal workers who keep the company running during peak holiday demand by failing to record all hours worked, requiring widespread off-the-clock labor, and manipulating timekeeping systems to reduce paid hours."
The suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, asks for restitution for the workers.
"UPS built its holiday business on the backs of workers who were not paid for their time and labor," Attorney General James said in a statement. "UPS's seasonal employees work brutal hours in the cold to deliver the holiday packages families across the country count on. Instead of compensating these workers fairly for their labor, UPS has played the Grinch. I am fighting to get these workers their money back and stop UPS from continuing its cruel and unlawful wage theft."
