Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP Files Class Action Against FN Logistics Over Meal Period Violations
Attorneys Sue FN Logistics for Labor Violations
On May 19, 2026, employment law attorneys from Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP filed a significant class action lawsuit against FN Logistics, LLC, in Los Angeles, California. The lawsuit accuses FN Logistics of not adhering to California’s stringent labor laws regarding mandatory meal and rest breaks. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that the company neglected to provide employees with legally mandated break times and forced them to work through scheduled meal periods.
According to the complaint, FN Logistics employees often found themselves unable to take a thirty-minute unpaid meal break, leading to numerous health and labor issues. Many workers reported that they endured shifts longer than five hours without the requisite meal breaks, which violates the California Labor Code. In addition, some employees lacked a second meal break during longer shifts—typically lasting ten hours—which is also a legal requirement under state law. By rounding meal break times, FN Logistics purportedly aimed to minimize financial liabilities related to meal period infractions, leading to employees forfeiting breaks without compensation.
The lawsuit, noted as Case No. 26STCV12316, is currently awaiting proceedings at the Los Angeles County Superior Court. It emphasizes the struggle of many workers who, despite working diligently, have been denied their basic rights to rest and recuperation during work hours. This legal action shines a light on the urgent need for compliance with labor regulations, ensuring fair treatment for all employees.
Moreover, the case brings forward other alarming allegations. Plaintiffs claimed that FN Logistics required them to utilize their personal cell phones for work purposes without proper reimbursement, in violation of California Labor Code § 2802, which mandates that employees should not bear the costs associated with work-related tasks. This accusation further illustrates the challenging conditions faced by workers at FN Logistics.
