The Plaintiffs allege that Roadrunner violated RCW 49.58.110 by failing to include the wage scale or salary range on jobs posted between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023.
The Pierce County Superior Court is overseeing this class action. The lawsuit is known as Pizl v. Roadrunner Transportation Services, Inc., Case No. 23-2-11134-1 (the “Case”).
As part of the Settlement of the Case, the Pierce County Superior Court decided that everyone who fits the following description is a Settlement Class Member:
All individuals who applied for jobs in response to job postings originating or listed on any website or media at any time between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range or a description of benefits for the position.
Subject to Court approval, the essential terms of the Settlement are as follows:
Defendant will pay a maximum total of $295,000 to a Common Fund, apportioned as follows:
Class Fund: At least $181,000, which will be available for the payment of Settlement Awards to Settlement Class Members who submit timely and valid Claim Forms.
Service and Full Release Award: $7,500 to Plaintiff Amber Pizl and $1,500 to Plaintiff Anthony Rogers as service awards in recognition of their efforts in prosecuting the Case and in recognition that they are providing a full, general release of all known and unknown claims against Roadrunner.
Settlement Administration Expenses Award: $15,000 to the Settlement Administrator for the processing of the Settlement, including the expenses of providing settlement notice to Settlement Class Members, handling the settlement administration process, processing payments to Settlement Class Members, and handling tax reporting requirements.
Attorneys’ Fees and Costs Award: $88,500 to Class Counsel for the attorneys’ fees award and up to $1,500 for actual litigation costs incurred in representing Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class.
Monetary Relief: The amount available to the Settlement Class Members is intended to compensate for the violations alleged in the Case.
Distribution of Class Fund: Each Settlement Class Member who submits a valid and timely Claim Form (enclosed with this notice) will receive a settlement payment. This Release requires you to waive and precludes you from bringing any released claims for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
Dismissal of Action: Upon final approval, the Court will enter a judgment of dismissal of the Case with prejudice but shall retain jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement.
