PITTSBURGH - U.S. Steel should have paid employees for the time they spent showering and walking to their worksites, among other pre- and post-work activities, a class action lawsuit alleges.
In a class action lawsuit filed Jan. 16 in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, plaintiff Christopher Floyd alleges that United States Steel Corporation has violated the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA).
The complaint accuses the corporation of failing to pay wages for time associated with various required work activities at the beginning and end of the workday within the premises of Defendant’s Edgar Thomson Plant.
Those activities include walking to the locker room to change and shower and waiting for and donning personal protective equipment.
Floyd is represented by R. Andrew Santillo from Winebrake & Santillo, LLC.
