PITTSBURGH – Citing a federal statute, U.S. Steel has likewise removed to federal court a class action complaint which alleged it violated the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA), by not paying employees for the time they spent showering and walking to their worksites, among other pre- and post-work activities.

PITTSBURGH – A mutual agreement between the parties has resulted in the elimination of a bad faith claim from the case of a deliveryman struck by a driver on her cell phone nearly two years ago.
Dammeon Campbell of Monroeville first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Dec. 1 versus Plymouth Rock Insurance, of Woodbridge, N.J.
“On May 9, 2019, Campbell, an employee of Mjolnir Tracking/XPO Logistics was operating a box truck owned by Mjolnir Tracking/XPO Logistics. At approximately 12:30 p.m., Campbell was making a delivery in the 5700 block of Center Avenue in Pittsburgh. Campbell had parked the box truck on the North side of the street facing westward, with the truck half off the road and half onto the curb. Campbell was out of the truck, and was walking next to the truck as a pedestrian, when he was struck by a vehicle operated by Aleshia Hill,” the suit said.
PITTSBURGH – Through mutual agreement of all parties concerned, damages in the case of a deliveryman struck by a driver on her cell phone have been capped at $75,000, thereby preventing the case’s removal to federal court.
