A lawsuit has been filed by a class comprising truckers against Albertson's Companies Inc..  Allegations include non-payment for overtime and reimbursement for expenses.  In addition, drivers have complained over an in-cab video monitoring system considered intrusive.

Albertson's is apparently in contravention of California law requiring rest periods and meal breaks for which drivers should be reimbursed.  Alleged failure of Albertson's to comply with statutory California labor requirements resulted in inadequate payment.

Given the impending merger of Albertson's and the Kroger Company, it would be appropriate for both Companies to be squeaky clean with respect to labor and consumer relations.  It is unclear whether the lawsuit is justified or is part of a contrived campaign by labor to oppose the merger.
