Hershey's workers scared the candy company this Halloween month when twelve current and former employees filed another wage lawsuit. Hershey Retail Sales Representatives (RSR) filed a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) lawsuit for unpaid overtime in California. The bittersweet truth of these hard economic times is that you have to file an FLSA lawsuit against your employer to receive your fair wages. Hershey's sued twice for unpaid overtime claims In February, a federal judge in San Francisco ruled that Hershey violated federal and California overtime laws by misclassifying the RSRs as salespersons and administrative employees and not paying them overtime. It seems Hershey didn't learn their lesson the first time because pay practices for the sales representatives haven't changed since the first lawsuit was filed in February. The latest one was just filed this month. When employers don't pay fair wages it's an insult to employees who are sacrificing their time and talent for the company.
