Warehouse Labor Violations

Philadelphia Warehouse Worker Rights Attorney

Advocating for Warehouse Worker Rights in Pennsylvania

Many warehouse employees are not paid for mandatory activities arising in the warehouse. This is generally illegal. Under Pennsylvania law, warehouse workers should be paid for activities such as:  

  • Security screenings   
  • Walking to and from assigned work locations   
  • COVID health screenings   
  • Picking up required gear   
  • And more.

At Winebrake & Santillo, we firmly believe that warehouse employees are entitled to all the protections provided under Pennsylvania law. If you suspect that your employer has violated your rights and federal or state labor laws, we encourage you to let us work with you to hold them accountable.
