(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 13, 2011 ) Orlando, Florida - The overtime lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are pleased to announce that the Consent to Join form for the Carrera vs. UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. collective action is now available at UPSDriverLawsuit.com. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida recently certified the overtime case as a collective action, and those wishing to join the case are invited to complete and return the form to join the lawsuit, which seeks damages for unpaid wages under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If you are a current or former driver who who worked for UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. or any of its predecessors as an independent contractor at any point during the last three years and did not receive overtime pay or minimum wage, visit http://www.upsdriverlawsuit.com/ and click “Consent to Join Form” to access the document. Those wishing to participate in the UPS driver lawsuit must complete and return the form to Morgan and Morgan, P.A. at 7450 Griffin Road, Suite 230, Davie, Florida by the court ordered deadline.
According to the wage and hour lawsuit, UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. violated the FLSA in regard to minimum wage and overtime pay. Allegedly, the plaintiff was compensated using a non-negotiable piece rate method in which he received either a lump sum amount for deliveries within a certain radius of the pick-up location or an amount per mile for stops outside that radius. In most weeks where the plaintiff was compensated using the “piece rate” basis, UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. reportedly failed to count all hours worked and therefore did not pay proper overtime compensation. Furthermore, the overtime lawsuit claims that the defendant’s practices also deprived the plaintiff and those similarly situated of at least the minimum wage for all hours worked.
If you did not receive overtime pay or minimum wage while working as a driver or “independent contractor” for UPS Supply Chain Solutions, you may be able to join this collective action.

The overtime attorneys at Morgan and Morgan are also offering a free consultation on their website to all employees who suspect their wage and hour rights have been violated.
