August 9, 2024 // In December 2023, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development Commissioner Robert Asaro-Angelo and New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin filed the first lawsuit under a 2021 law that permits the state to file suit in New Jersey Superior Court against employers who have allegedly misclassified workers as independent contractors. According to the state’s complaint against STG Logistics and STG Drayage, the suit “seeks to halt the companies’ alleged practice of misclassifying drivers as independent contractors and to recover up to millions in back wages, penalties and fines for more than 300 truck drivers.”
