But its warehouse workers have been made to wait up to 25 minutes — after they clock out — for a secu- rity guard to check they haven’t stolen anything. Several of them — employees of temp agency Integrity Staffing Solutions — filed a federal lawsuit demanding pay for that time, and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Ap- peals agreed, saying they should be paid because the screenings were per- formed for the employer’s benefit and were integral to their jobs. But the employer appealed, and the Obama Administration agreed with the employer. On Dec. 8, a unan- imous Supreme Court overturned the 9th Circuit ruling, saying their em- ployer doesn’t have to pay them for security screening time, because it’s unrelated to their primary job duties. The ruling was written by Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the most anti-worker justices on the Court. Ironically, he seemed to suggest workers would be better off unioniz- ing: He wrote that employee argu- ments that the screenings should be paid time “are properly presented to the employer at the bargaining table, not to a court in an FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) claim.” “In Solidarity, Building Oregon responsibly while supporting local families” Happy Greetings Labor Day!
