The San Diego City Attorney’s Office has filed a lawsuit against The Campbell’s Company, alleging misclassification of workers. The lawsuit claims Campbell’s uses a “direct-store-delivery” model where workers are treated as independent contractors, thus denying them employee benefits like minimum wage, overtime, and sick leave. The City Attorney asserts that these workers perform essential functions under the company’s control and should be considered employees under California law, seeking restitution and civil penalties.
