There is currently one active class action lawsuit against Roadie, filed in the Northern District of Georgia in 2023. The lawsuit alleges that Roadie misclassifies its delivery drivers as independent contractors, which deprives them of employee benefits and protections.
The lawsuit was filed by Morgan & Morgan, a law firm that specializes in class action cases. The firm alleges that Roadie drivers are actually employees of the company, because they are controlled by Roadie in a number of ways. For example, Roadie drivers must use the Roadie app to accept and complete deliveries, and they are subject to Roadie’s policies and procedures.
The lawsuit seeks to recover unpaid wages, benefits, and damages for Roadie drivers. It also seeks to require Roadie to classify its drivers as employees.
In addition to the class action lawsuit, Roadie has also been the subject of a number of individual lawsuits from delivery drivers. These lawsuits have alleged a variety of claims, including wage theft, breach of contract, and discrimination.
Roadie has denied all of the allegations against it. The company claims that its delivery drivers are independent contractors, and that they are free to set their own hours and choose which deliveries they want to accept.
The class action lawsuit against Roadie is still in the early stages of litigation. It is unclear when the case will go to trial. However, if the lawsuit is successful, it could have a significant impact on Roadie and the delivery industry as a whole.
