Workers, State Officials Allege Labor Abuses At Calif. Warehouse Complex

Workers at a massive warehouse complex in Southern California are claiming that they were shorted wages and routinely subjected to workplace indignities, among other labor abuses, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in Los Angeles.

The workers are employed at three large warehouses at a complex in Riverside County, southeast of L.A., where brand-name goods shipped to nearby ports from Southeast Asia are sorted for distribution to Walmart stores throughout the U.S.
