Tonight I heard from Rachel bat Avraham,* a courageous Express Scripts employee who’s been following my Express Scripts saga here:

I would advise any of you out there who are fed up with Express Scripts to continue to hound the media and turn it into a public affair, because I promise you, the higher-ups won’t like the bad press. And if you do it, you don’t risk being tossed out on your can without any unemployment.

On April 8, 2014, attorneys from Sommers Schwartz filed a collective action complaint against Express Scripts on behalf of employees claiming to have not received wage and overtime compensation in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The plaintiffs assert that the company intentionally failed to pay all of its call center employees for time spent each day loading up their complex computer and phone systems, time they spent working on their unpaid lunch breaks, and time spent shutting their computers down – tasks for which the U.S. Department of Labor has declared call center employees are to be compensated. Express Scripts has more than a dozen call centers throughout the United States. The lawsuit is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
