Supreme Court to Hear Amazon Warehouse Staffing Case

Should workers leaving Amazon.com's warehouses be paid for the time they stand in line to go through security pat downs? The Supreme Court will rule on whether a lawsuit to decide the matter can proceed, granting a petition for writ of certiorari on Monday in Integrity Staffing Solutions v. Busk, which deals with a "claim for overtime pay by workers for the after-hours screening as a measure to prevent workplace theft." The Seattle Times said workers sued in 2010 to receive pay for the time they wait in security screening lines before and after they start their shifts.
