A Sanofi vaccine plant worker in Pennsylvania alleges the company and a staffing firm didn t follow through on a hazard pay promise. (Sanofi)
As the pandemic heated up this spring, Sanofi scrambled to make sure its plants would continue to turn out the drugs and vaccines patients needed and it offered certain workers hazard pay as part of that effort. But according to a new lawsuit, the French drugmaker hasn t paid up.
Courtland Davis, a laboratory technician at a Sanofi vaccine plant in Swiftwater, Pennsylvania, sued the company and staffing firm Yoh Services for failing to live up to an April promise of 15% hazard pay during the pandemic. Davis, who is jointly employed by Sanofi and Yoh, is seeking class-action status for her claims.
