Lawsuit Filed By Former Pizza Hut Delivery Drivers Claim Company’s Fees Cut Into Workers’ Tips
The Associated Press cites a report from the Daily Gazette of Schenectady (which is behind a paywall), saying the lawsuit was filed in Albany federal court, and alleges that the pizza chain violates New York labor laws by pocketing mandatory delivery fees.
The plaintiffs say many customers get the impression that the delivery fees are part of the gratuity and will be included in the workers’ tips, but instead, drivers don’t get any of that money.
One of the plaintiffs was a delivery driver for a Pizza Hut in Schenectady from 2005 to 2012, while the other is a Syracuse resident. Their attorneys are seeking a class-action lawsuit that would consider all delivery drivers for the company.
