Dick's Sporting Goods faces a federal lawsuit alleging its Nebraska employees weren't properly paid for their work, according to a filing in U.S. District Court in Omaha.
According to the Associated Press, Dannette Stackhouse claims in her lawsuit that employees were forced to work through breaks, were unpaid for overtime and were sometimes locked in the store until work was finished.
Stackhouse worked in the sporting goods retailer's Papillion, NE location. Her lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Omaha on behalf of roughly 900 Dick's workers in Nebraska, seeks class-action status and monetary compensation.
