Warehouse Workers Sue New Lenox Temp Agency
Joliet Herald News

CHICAGO — Employees filed a class-action lawsuit against Reliable Staffing agency of New Lenox on Monday in U.S. District Court.
The employees filed the lawsuit after they say their attempts to collect billing and pay records from the temp agency failed.
Last week, workers told The Herald-News that they weren’t being paid for overtime and they were forced to report for work at 6:45 a.m. but didn’t start getting paid until 8 a.m. The issues date back to the busy Christmas season when the Reliable workers staffed the Walmart warehouse in Elwood.
The workers are being assisted by Warehouse Workers for Justice, a Chicago-based group that has come to Will County to try to improve conditions for warehouse temp workers.
