If you are a current or present WMI hourly employee in California, then you are probably owed significant wages by WMI and/or USA Waste of California, Inc. You can join a lawsuit that alleges that WMI illegally stole wages from you. WMI has an illegal "auto meal deduct policy", and has policies and practices that prevent hourly workers from receiving meal periods and rest periods.

Are you a current or former WMI hourly employee in California? If so, you are eligible to participate in the Waste Management, Inc. California Wage and hour class action for all WMI hourly employees in California.



Waste Management California Wage and Hour Class Action


The Turley Law Firm, along with co-counsel - have a wage and hour class action filed for all Waste Management, Inc. California hourly employees. This putative class includes all garbage truck drivers, helpers and every California hourly employee. The first class action lawsuit was filed in San Diego and second class action lawsuit was filed in Northern California. Both class actions have now been consolidated and are venued in San Diego, California.


What is Waste Management, Inc. doing wrong in California?

There are several key allegations in the case. First, WMI and/or USA Waste of California, Inc. have instituted an illegal “auto meal deduct” policy. Meaning that employees are automatically deducted one half hour of wages for every shift worked. The deduction occurs even if the worker did not actually receive the half hour uninterrupted meal period. Second, WMI / USA Waste of California, Inc. did not allow workers to receive an thirty minute uninterrupted meal period for workers eligible to receive the first meal period. Third, WMI policy of not providing a second meal period to workers whom worked over 10 hour shifts. Fourth, workers are too busy with very tight production schedules to receive their 10 minute rest periods.
