Kairy, et al. v. SuperShuttle Inc., et al., Case No. 08-02993 JSW, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California

Rukin Hyland Doria & Tindall LLP, along with co-counsel, represent current and former SuperShuttle California van drivers. Plaintiffs contend that SuperShuttle has misclassified the van drivers as “franchisees” and/or “independent contractors” rather than as employees. As a result of this misclassification, Plaintiffs claim that SuperShuttle has violated California law and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay overtime and minimum wage, failing to reimburse the drivers for business expenses, taking wrongful deductions from drivers’ pay, forcing drivers to make certain purchases from Defendants, and failing to provide lawful meal breaks.

On April 9, 2009, the Court conditionally certified the federal FLSA claims in this lawsuit as an opt-in collective action of individuals who drove passenger vehicles for SuperShuttle in California during the period commencing April 9, 2006 to the present.
